Hi everyone,
I installed the SV32 servos (both pitch and roll) in my RV8 and saw that when I engage the autopilot, the roll axis servo is slipping even in calm air when I change the heading.
I suspect this come from the additional torque needed to move the aileron due to the spring system roll trim.
As everyone had this issue before ?
Roll torque is already set at 100%
Should I try moving the servo pushrod to an inner hole of the arm (middle one)? To have a little bit more torque ?
Or
Trying to remove the roll trim system thinking that the additional friction made by the servos could act a little bit as a trim when not engage.
Or
See with my local Dynon avionnics dealer if I should purchase a larger servo .
Thanks
