| When the servo does the "full swing on initialiation" thing, what are the settings on the tx (transmitter) and gyro, regarding reversing?
Also, what servo is it? If you use Esky or S75 ("Just say NO to S75's" ) or other "normal" rotation servos, make sure the tx and gyro are both set to REV. Dunno what the deal on the front servo could be, unless it's binding or trying to exceed full travel.
I had a similar problem when I tried to use an HS55 in the King's tail, stock tx, Telebee (basically the same gyro).
The HS55 rotates in a reverse direction to Esky and S75's. With the tx RUD channel and gyro both in REV (original positions) the HS55 would move in the wrong direction and the gyro would correct in the wrong direction. I switched the tx and gyro to normal (reversed from stock settings) and the servo would shoot all the way one way and it took all but the last 3 clicks of trim to center. It worked like that, but I wanted a little wiggle room for flight correction.
I got a new servo, a JR S185, and it was reversed, too, and did the same thing. But the specs were great, and so was the price, so I decided to make it work. I put the tx RUD and gyro back to REV (stock), and just flipped the servo arm over so that the ball link was pointed down. I moved the servo up one set of holes on the boom mount so the control rod was at a safe angle to the tail works (I've never used the clip guides), and it's been phenomenal since.
I think there's some kind of issue regarding reversing the tx and gyro together using these stock tx's.
Pumping your fist and yelling, "COME ON!!!" does not increase battery charge rate. |
