Just an FYI for those using the TruTrak autopilots.  The screw which holds
the arm on the TruTrak servo can back out causing control arm blockage.

To all,
We are aware of this situation. This is most definitely an isolated
incident. We have over 10,000 servos in the field at this time, and to our
knowledge this is the only account of this ever happening. We are reviewing
options for a change in the way the arm is attached. When we reach a
decision we feel comfortable with, we will post up with the solution. This
solution will be available to all existing customers. Thanks everyone!
