dig out a dead servo
What would be a good way to dig out a dead servo in a foam fuselage? The servo is in a Radian sailplane. It's sunk and glued in a deep hole with more or less just the top showing. I really don't want to trash the fuselage digging it out. Thanks for any suggestions. Yoshin

RE: dig out a dead servo
You can take a very thin steel wire in a pair of vise grip pliers,, heat it up with a sig lighter or over a gas stove, has to be almost but not quite red hot. slide between the servo case and foam,, it will melt the foam right away from the servo/glue,, if glue is under the servo too, you have to bend the wire and twist it under the servo also.
Don't let is linger against the foam to much, and be careful around the servo wire, move quickly, you don't want to melt away too much foam, just enough to loosen up the servo
good luck

Could you open the case, and replace only the guts of the servo?
