One of the gents at our field had a rather strange problem last week -- a weak servo. He replaced it with a new S-3001.
Today he brought his model back with the same problem. He is using two aileron servos connected via a "Y" harness for his ailerons. They both operate properly, but when the ailerons are held in full throw in either direction, you can very easily push the left aileron back to neutral; when released, it returns to its commanded position. This is the bad side. The right side cannot be pushed out of its commanded position easily. In other words, the left servo appears to have no power.
While at the field, he reversed the leads within the "Y", but the problem remained on the left aileron, thus eliminating the harness. Since he had already replaced the servo, the only logical fault could be a defective servo extension lead that's not allowing full voltage to get to the servo. He couldn't check this at the field.
Do any of you have any other possible reasons for the wimpy servo?

I had EXACTLY this one a brand new HS55...I worked it up and down a few times and it seems to have sorted it.. No servo extender involved at all.
But if this sort of messing about does not appeal, simply replace the servo and send it back.
