Default RE: Servo Torque?

Angus,

Thanks.

>>Why are you aiming for your servos to move as little as that?<<

Just seemed to be more efficient for the servo arm to rotate from say 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock than like 3 to 9.

>>Once you've done this you can then check you've got enough torque by flying full speed and doing a rates off roll. Then go to idle and if the roll rate speeds up as the airspeed comes down you've most likely got insufficient torque. You can do the same thing on rudder.<<

OK. Good thought.

>>Basically you want to set your ATV as high as possible.<<

Why? To maximize torque?
