Whatchya do to fix your taileron problems?

Coz that's basically what I had on my F22 maiden today - no authority. Well, sometimes bugger all, then the next move on the sticks it stood up vertical (sometimes with half the stick input)

Still, that ChangeSun 90mm sounded sweet Even with the el-cheapo HK 1400kv inrunner in it - so it wasn't all bad...

I fitted 4 servos to fix the problem. I tried to cheat and use only 2 but not strong enough. Live and learn.

Oh...so your problem was 'servo flutter' then?

I'm starting to thing my CG may have been out, as well as too much slop on the tailerons

No, not flutter but not enough power to operate elevons. Now it's ok with two servos each side like it should have been
