Hi,

I have been flying a GP Reactor Bipe for a couple of months now. Last week we noticed that in a hover the aileron servos seemed to be reacting late- a bit slowly. Even the best 3D pilots noted that. I was using Futaba 3010s on ailerons and elevators, so I replaced them with Hitec 5625MGs. I also dropped the aileron side clevis to a lower horn. I am using Dubro heavy duty horns, not the stock horns, so the push rod was not level with the surface in the earlier setup. Even when dropped to a lower hole it is not level but its closer. I dont want to go to the inner most hole where it may magnify any linkage slop

However with this change, I have to reduce the ATVs to 25% to get the manual specified throws. When I did this on a earlier airplane, it changed the way the airplane flew- the elevators on that airplane stopped being linear in response and took on a sort of on-off snappy response. It made the airplane very difficult to fly. Those were 3010s servos on that airplane and I was flying of a 9CAP wherein the sticks were very stiff and I had to make them loose to allow for more comfortable flying, so I am not sure whether the snappyness was radio or TX related

So my question is, does reducing the ATV (AFR in Futaba 12FG) to such a extent make the servo resolution poor and hence snappy?
