Elevator Deflection
 
What affect will having one side of the elevator, on high rates, have a few more degrees of throw than the other. Say 48 degrees and 52 degrees.

I didnt notice it before but the more I increase the throw on high rates the more one servo pulls on down elevator than the other.

I have two servos on my elevator, one is pluged into a servo reverser and both are joined by a Y conector. I am curiouse if its the reverser that is the culprit. Both servos seem to work in unisome on low rates, its at the end of the throw at high rates when the two halves seem to come apart at the top of the throw, one attaining a higher degree of down than the other. UP seems to be pretty even. :confused:

I had the similar problem with my dp ultimate 40 size. When I finally got them to equal throws on both high rate and low rate, swithing to high rates the flat spins were totally awsome, very flat, and I was able to idle in a flat spin until one day I didn't pull out soon enough and add throttle, and I tore the bottom out of the plane, but to answer your question, yea you will see an improvement in all your high rate manuvers if they are exactly the same.

I don't think it's going to make that much difference....these are 3d rates... the wing is stalled anyway...

If you are trying anthing, like a harrier, it will tend to fall off to one side, taving the throws equal will make manuvers like that much easier

The servo rev. should be adjustable, many of them have a small screw to adjust. If you have a computer radio you could split the servos at the rec. and then adjust the ATV. Just an idea.
