JR 2.4 / SmartFly issue ***HELP***
Guys,
Was working to rig my KC last night and I am having a horrible time with the flaps. The system is wigging out....here is what I have installed:
JR / Spectrum AR9000 DSM2 9 Ch RX
Smart Fly EQ10
2 Ea. 2S A123 batteries
JR PCM10X with 2.4 module
2721 Servo
The issues are:
Flap servo jitters violently at various times and requires the system to be shut down to restore normal operation
Flap servo appears not to have the ability to hold a given flap position with any degree of force. Surface can be easily deflected by light hand pressure.
Servos DO NOT jitter when being driven buy a external servo driving device, they only operate violently when powered via EQ10.
I was convinced that I needed to buy new servos, now I am not so sure.
Does anyone have any idea what my next move should be?
TIA.

RE: JR 2.4 / SmartFly issue ***HELP***
Robert,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am not sure about the voltages as it relates to signaling. What I do know is I am running this exact same setup with the exception of the servo in my Élan and have no issues whatsoever. I am not convinced that the EQ10 is the issue at this point as my experience with them has been excellent to this point. I am going to remove the EQ10 from the system and drive one flap servo directly off the RX.
As far as the external driver for the servo I am using a 4.8 RX pack to run that system.
My gut is telling me it is the Servos.....
