Drill motors have not been allowed since 2005.

That's probably it. I'll check!

You seem to have a problem with understanding that getting away with something is just as illegal and wrong as getting caught doing it.

You might want to rethink your response to rules infractions.

Al's response regarding being able to see if a servo has been opened is good but there is nothing wrong with taking a servo apart...perhaps to rebuild it... we have done that a number of times.

What is wrong is modifiying it outside the rules... and even if an inspector doesn't catch it.. it is still wrong....
