Hey y'all,
I recently crashed my Conscendo and decided to get rid of the Y harness while rebuilding so I can use spoilerons. I've managed to get them working RealFlight 9 (yay!), and I've managed to get them kind-of working on the bench, but I ran into a weird problem:
Left aileron servo doesn't go full travel with full stick or full flaps alone -- only with both.
Right aileron servo works as expected.
TX is a DX7s, RX is the stock AR636.
TX Profile is Acro, Flaperon-type wing.
Right Aileron is on Channel 2.
Left Aileron is on Channel 6.
All trims at zero, and ailerons have been centered using the clevises.
At full spoilers (flap position 2), left stick still moves the left aileron up further. Right stick doesn't move the right aileron -- it's at the end of the servo travel where it should be.
In order to correct this, I've had to use a *huge* amount of LAL sub-trim on the TX, which just seems... wrong -- like -80 or something.
I also created a mix of THR -> RAL and THR -> ELE, which replicates the flap switch, just for kicks/tuning fun. The problem is the same there.
The TX reports outputs of 100 on both RAL and LAL with full stick, so it seems to at least *think* it's doing the right thing :/
Why would one servo, on a glider which was previously trimmed just fine, suddenly be not running full travel just because it's now on Channel 6 instead of Channel 2?
I'm sure I'm just being thick...
thanks!
