Dennis,

There is obviously something correct in David's set-up and something was incorrect in your's. I have explained that if improperly set-up you will not be getting the correct hinge moment to the control surface. Not much more I can say. I hope I've explained this as clearly as possible. But I will repeat, the Travel Adjust feature is not the only indication of the travel set in the TX. The Trace Rate menu and the DR menu's adjust the throw also. But if bigger servos will make you more comfortable, then by all means install bigger servos.

I just helped a pattern buddy with his models this weekend. We spent 6 hours optimizing the set-up as I've described and the results were much "tighter" feeling models and less battery drain. We could fly more flights before needing to charge. This was a direct indication of the improvement.

Todd,

Trace Rate is similar to the AFR in Futaba radios. It allows adjustment of the ailerons, elevators and rudder throws. It is often overlooked by the owners when setting up a model.
