Servos have uneven throw?

Post by sunnybreeze »

I need help tweaking my full house glider. Using a Turnigy Er9X and all is good BUT the elevator and rudder has uneven throws. One direction will go 100% and the other is only 30 or 40%. On screen #1 it even shows the bar is weighted to one direction so I have less throw. The trims are centered so how do I get back to even throw each way? If I go to Edit Mix the source is ELE, weight is 100%, Offset is 0, Fl Modetrim is OFF, Trim is ON, curve is ---. Again if I'm at the model first screen the sliding bars are weighted to one side which makes no sense to me. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Are your sticks properly calibrated?
What do you have on the limits page?

The limits are -30 -100. You may be correct and I'm not calibrated. Let me check and get back to you!

Thanks

Just checked calibration of sticks and it's fine! I'm baffled why I can't get the servo to center up

Pretty obvious that it is a result of the limits being 100/30 as you say. Set them both to 100 and carry on.

Then you have set your servo to move 30% on one side and 100% on the other. It's thus pretty obvious why it does just that :D

One would think that but I tried to reset 100 in each direction and no joy. I'm starting to think I have corrupted program. Can it have anything to do with some screwed up EXPO setting?
