Equalizer II Question.....>>>
I am preparing my 30cc MX2 for it's maiden tomorrow. I noticed something odd on my elevators. I have the Equalizer II in place and followed the set-up instructions.
When you run the elevators to full deflection and release they return to center at what appears to be different rates. I have Hitec 5645 servos and I have the linkage about as perfectly identical on each side. The elevators travel in the "powered" direction equally, just when you let the stick return to center it seems that the elevators return as different speeds/rates?
Now they both have the EPA set to match perfectly and they both center evenly as well. Just on the return trip to center from full up or full down, they seem to have some differential on the return speed.
Any ideas guys?

Hi, if they go up at the same rate then I don't see how the Equalizer could be misbehaving. I admit this is strange but it has no idea if you are going to full deflection or back to neutral.

Not sure what I did wrong the first time, but it works perfectly now.
Thanks!
