Default RE: servo glitch


ORIGINAL: dave de

Hey guys, I have wildhare edge 540 I got from Tom. First off, tom has been great with helping out with questions I had, & there were quite a few!!! I,m using a dx7 spectrum. I,m using a servo reverse y-harness on my elevators. The problem I'm having is after I get the plane trimmed out, on the ground, I notice one side of the elevator moves, sometimes more than an inch. I have called spectrum they replaced my receiver. I called HI-tec & they replaced my servo, because at one time it moved so radically back & forth it actually froze up. I have checked all my servo connections & replaced several of them. I cant figure out what to do......the servo reverser has a tiny little screw that when you turn it, the servo will move to trim, 5 minutes later it moves all by itself, can someone PLEASE help me.....thank you, Dave
You stopped asking questions too early, you should have asked me how to hook up the elevators, I would say NEVER use a reversing Y. Put the two servos on 2 channels, and put in a mix (use mix # 5 or 6 so the trim works). You can reverse one channel and adjust subtrim and end point to get them to work exactly the same, then go retest it. I'll bet your problem has gone away.
