Possible but the only solder joints in the airplane are those in the switch harness. It could be there. I have one more of that particular switch harness that I could swap out. I really hope that isn't the problem because I can't get any more of this particular harness. FWIW, all the servo leads are just long servo extensions from the servo to the wing root and rx to fuselage side. I have had to replace one extension in the past because it went bad so its not outside the realm of possibility that another has gone wonky. But to do it the same time as whatever caused the low voltage? On the other hand, a few months back, I lost a wing servo on the same flight as the tx battery tripped the low voltage alarm after only about 30 minutes total flying for the day. (Stylus tx) Hmmm, this last year, I've gone thru a lot of batteries. It may be time to take another look at my charging methods/equipment.
