Default Eclipse 7 and GY401 Strange Question

My Rudder Servo stops travel when the EPA is about
70 %. The EPA readout continues all the way 125 %
BUT the servo stops travel at 70 % ( No binding )
Same with the rudder dual rates
This is only with the GY 401 hooked up with or without HH
Without the gyro the Hitec 525 servo travels to 125 %

Is this wierd ??
Am I doing something Wrong ??

Thanks in advance
Fred..

Check the 401's instructions. It has a "pot" that you adjust for the endpoints of servo travel. You adjust that pot as part of the setup, it's so you can keep the servo from binding.

I usually leave it at it's max setting and mechanically fix the linkage to accomplish the same thing.

I bet that's what your seeing.
