Servo Motors Disengaged

@DJ

Just a heads up. I just went through the servos in my kit and found three of the 4 standard servos did not function correctly. They whined when plugged in. After closer examination, I found that the servo motors had shifted down in the casing during shipping causing the motor gear to disengage from the gear stack. I pushed them back into place and stuck a small wad of tape over the motors to keep them in place in case of further jarring during development.

No prob. I'll get around to it. 25 years of messing with R/C stuff, I know my way around the gear :)
