I've flown with just the D10A for a year or so and just installed the EDC10A and roll servo and 5.3 firmware. I played with the sensitivity for the roll servo a bit and thought maybe 5 was going to work. I put in a couple of headings and it tracked well. I tried a 180 and it did OK - not too smooth, but it did turn around.
Then I tried another heading. It was starting out very slowly rolling to the right. I noticed that the heading indication started decreasing as if I was turning left. The bank kept getting steeper and the heading scrolled faster to the left....... I had to disconnect. It did that four times in a row and I decided to pack it in for the day. What would make it do kinda OK for a while and then start this behaviour?
After this, I noticed that the bank indication on the EFIS was not leveling right away after a bank and then rolling back to level.
I should mention that I have not yet connected the pitot and static pressures to the EFIS. I know I should, but I already have two airspeeds and two altimeters.
Any help on why the heading would take off the wrong way would surely be appreciated!
Thanks,
