sounds like blowback.Are you sure the servos are strong enough and what size control rods are you using. If they are too small they could be bending under load
I'm not sure if the servos are good enough or not. They are futaba s3004 -Torque 44 oz/in. at 4.8v.
Can I run a 6 volt pack on a plane?
Using a jr 700ppm reciever. On a heli I can't use 6v because of gyros and tail servo won't allow more than 5 before you deep fry them.
The rods are the stock rods with it.
The plane has narrow ailerons, about an inch and a half if that.
The rod is only about 5 inches to. Plastic clevises. Will be changed to metal before next flight.
Based on the pic provided and if that is the plane,
44 ounces of torque seem a little on the low side to me. If those rods are 2-56 then I'll bet they are bending especially if they are 5 inches long. 6v is gonna help but not much, you might end up increasing the bend forces on the rods if they are too thin.
I'd bet the aileron size themsleves are part of the problem if it is determined that the rods/servos are some of the problem. They seem kinda small for most 60 size plane that supposed to weigh in at 7lbs
When flying it fast does the roll rate increase a bit or does it stay the same. If it stays the same or barely increases I'd be looking at the servos or rods or both. If it increases a bunch over doing it at say 1/3rd throttle then it probably cannot roll any faster because of the aileron size.
Having more info like weight and power and prop might help as well. I also suspect you may have the name wrong as AeroWorks never did make that size Extra. So please let us know exactly who makes it.
Nick, I think you may have been a little presumptuious...
