Default RE: Surface Damping

ok guys thanks for the comments.

It is my 50cc Aeroworks and I have new Hitec 7955TG's (I had the jittery issue with my other set of servos and Hitec wonderfully replaced them for me).

On my original setup I was chasing my tail trying to do the whole 3D setup AND precision set up. But as has been discussed here before, when you set the ATV to 100% there is way too much throw and I cant get rid of it mechanically. I can mitigate by going way out on the control surface horn, and then started thinking about the dampening effect (pro or con) of that kind of setup.

Ultimately, I don't think torque ends up being an issue with these servos on this size airplane regardless of what I do mechanically.

Since I am doing a re-install of the servos, I'll start with connections that are 1" from the output shaft on the servo side and 1" out on the control horn side; set the ATV to 100 % and see where I am...maybe I will follow up with you guys at that point.

Which reminds me. From a resolution standpoint, is setting ATV at 100% with say 50% exponential equivalent to setting ATV at 50%? Short of the expo effect of the expo...is resolution adversly affected?

Not that I would be able to tell worth a hoot...I just like to break this stuff down and understand it.

Thanks again guys...

Tom
