Default RE: Direct Drive System

John,

I read with interest post #12 where you mention;

" I've got a trick to negate the servo gear slop too...if you are running dual servos per control. It envolves intentionally offsetting the neutral points to "take up the slack" in the gears. Be very careful, though, because you can fry a servo in short order if you offset to the point that the servos fight each other. This is an advanced technique I would NOT recommend until your flying is good enough to notice the gear slop. "


I've been doing this on a 35% and most recently on a 40% wondering if the servo gods were looking unfavorably on me or
something.

How is it working for you?
Do you re-offset frequently and when necessary with no problems?

Since you are an engineer, doesn't moving the sub trim throw of the geometry-resolution-linearity issue in some way?

It's definitely a neat way to beat the system if you will.

Take care_bob
