    regarding the buzzing on mks servos: there is a programming device from mks (DSP-1), using this device you can adjust the deadband of the servos. This will clear the buzzing. MKS Servos are set to the lowest deadband value on the market (normaly wanted because they are very exact and fast), most of the "older" powerboxes (including the jeti) do not like that. Had the same problem on my powerbox mercury's which is in all my jets (around 12 systems). After reprogramming the 747HV servos to deadband 3ms, everything is fine. Got this information from powerbox systems including the programmer... the only downside, the DSP-1 is not really cheap...

    Very nice step by step walk through. Ill definitely be using this when I work through my functional wings. As I do not have the bell crank for the flaps Ill be interested to see how you work through it. I have been debating an external linkage on mine. Hopefully there is an alternative.

      @@thelightersideofrc Jonathan. I am not a Great Writer so ask Questions if I leave you hanging. Could you use any of the Servo hardware they give you? In our F5J plane we have Bearing to hold the Servo arm better and could you use the Trays they give you? They have awesome ways to connect the flaps and So On. Last since you a Busy Man. In the New Shop have Wifely paint one Wall that looks like Sky with Some Clouds ☁ then build three brackets that you can hold your Jet ✈ ( like this Jet) maybe use the Landing Gear Doors Open . Maybe Acrylic glass Rods with Hooks so you Can Take a Photo of Each Jet 🛩 you Build. . I know you can make a clear Bracket that will not be in the Photo. Thanks Jonathan you are the Best. Peace.

    It would seem that the flap gap should be equal for both inboard and outboard.

      Sorry make that the slat gap measurement with the slat extended.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  2 года назад +1

      Generally yes but with the Slats running on Carbon sliders it would induce alot of binding in the system and load on the servo if we tried to get them even. This is why I did the first step of moving it out manually to see how it sits in it's "Happy State".

  • @philippebaudon
    @philippebaudon 2 года назад +1

    It's really very difficult for 3 servos with 3 differents ajustments for the same slat ! We can hear a small noise from one of 3 servos ?.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  2 года назад +1

      The slats use 2 servos. There will probably always be some buzz from these paired servos just because thee will always be some resistance in the system.

      It varies a massive amount depending on size and fit out. Generally ordering from the manufacture.
