Title: Simkit flap gauge.
Post by: jackpilot on February 22, 2011, 03:54:38 AM
I plugged back my Simkit flaps gauge.
Works fine and calibrated but when at Zero Flaps the needle trembles a bit as the servo works and makes a faint noise.
I do not remember if there is a way to avoid this with the calibration file??

Servo flutter. I remember that from when I used to fly RCs. Don't know if there is anyway to quiet a noisy servo though. Google nosy servo and see if you come up with anything.

I'm having the same problem on my simkits flaps gauge. Tried the servo on my rc system and it works very good.

Simkits told me to send it back to check for the connection board...

Then it is noise inside the controller. What you are describing is a noisy server, if the servo acts fine in another RC setup it has to be the controller injecting the noise.
