Default RE: Servo torque question


ORIGINAL: Stoneke

My wing flaps (three separate sections) on my Byron AT6 are controlled by a single Futaba S3302 servo. The center section of the flaps is the one that is connected to the servo and this section retracts to a nice tight configuration to the fuse. An outer section droops down about a 1/4'' when retracted. I am able to bring all sections up tight via the tx adjustments, but then the servo buzzes.
Question: 1. Would a higher torque rated servo be able to answer the additional force without buzzing? 2. If so, what size would be recommended? The Futaba S3302 is an 89 oz/inch servo.
Glad that you found the problem .............. but ....... if memory serves the Byron AT6 is a large aircraft and I think that one 89 oz/inch servo is a little on the "light" side for all three flaps. I would beef that up if it were mine. The KMP AT6 has three servos for the flap system and recommends a servo of at least 100 oz/inch for each. Just a thought...........
