Hi Dynon,
I have had the Dynon Autopilot installed for a little over a year. I have never had issues with the Servos Slipping unless in pretty bad turbulence. About two weeks ago i noticed the SLIP indication appearing more than usual in some pretty light chop, but it still seemed to be connected to the turbulence. I just flew about a 10 hr trip cross country and and on the return, the roll servo was basically useless, even in smooth air. As soon as I engaged it, the SLIP annunciator would illuminate and stay lit. I pulled up the setup page in flight to see if maybe the torque setting had been turned down accidentally, but it was still set at 100% as it has been since i set up the autopilot. Also, I noticed it is only the roll servo that is slipping. It seems to sit at around 10-20%, although I dont know what that number means. Do you have any advice on what to do next, or is this probably going to be a servo replacement. Thanks!
