Elevator Servo Travel
I recently purchase a new 9C Super. right out of the box I noticed that the servo for the elevator had noticably less travel than the others. I switched servos and got the same result. I went ahead and installed the flight pack and have flown the plane twice but still wondered if this was normal, knowing that 3d'rs would want maximum travel from all control surfaces. I just purchase 2 more rx's and get the same result so it isn't the servo, nor is it the rx since I have tried 2 so far. Is this normal. This is my first computer radio & is a bit overwhelming but it did do this right from the box, before I had a chance to goof it up. Servo end point on this servo is 100% each way but the servo arm does not travel nearly as far as the others.

RE: Elevator Servo Travel
well its still raining here so I've spent some time today in the manual and just programmed snap roll to my plane. I did take another flight pack on the bench and hook it up to check servo travel. I first thought I had the same problem but I went to model-03, that I had never messed with, and checked endpoint and it was defaulted to 100% for all channels.
I did check travel on all servos and found them to be the same. I guess it was just me. On plane#1 I have the endpoints reduced to achieve the correct amount of throw and must have got confused. [
] I do that alot.
