gt-5 elevator servo kicking

alistaly · 03-12-2012, 01:12 AM

Hi guys, setting up my gt5 for the first time. As i'm spooling up my elevator servo is kicking up and down quite violently. This did happen once while i was setting up but when i restarted the gt5 it never happened again so i did't take notice. But now on the maiden spool up it is kicking, not sure why this is, if anyone has any suggestions, would be much appreciated

have a problem with ele. wag , not so violent that i would describe it as kicking, but [see post below] i'm now thinking temp change has something to do with it as it goes away with time outside. i'm using sttings close to the ones on the GT 5 'suggest ' sheet, but i find small changes make little diff.

is your wag flyable? My kicking only occurs during spool up so i'm thinking it may be a vibration issue. but the movement i get is severe and would no way be flyable. Anyone got any ideas?

not flyable , well only if you are desparate, mine will start it to move around a bit just before take-off , but thats normal , don't think the servo is kicking violently.

Guys just so everyone knows, i was able to fix this. I simply reset the gyro and started again, when i maidened today the elevator servo was fine. I'm not sure as to the reason it was kicking but atleast now it's gone.
