aileron servo instl vs vibration

[Del K. Rykert]

Playing the devils advocate here Matt I suspect their is still vibration with electrics.. Just at a significantly less problem issue for us. Maybe I am clinging to my current technology base as I sure can't afford the change again.

  Xavier, Jerry's obsrevations are similar to mine.

  To counter the effects of the vibration a little more, what I try 
  to do is to build the aileron as light as possible. The best I have been able to achieve is an aileron weight of about 30 grams for a typical aileron found on a 2 meter plane. The idea is to reduce the amount of force translated back to the servo . 

  Another thing I have tried recently is statically counterbalancing the ailerons. The system I used wasn't stiff enough however, and shook more than I wanted at idle. But the idea has merit and I will pursue it further with a stiffer system

  Yet another area to work on is the engine mounting system, such that the transferred vibration is minimized. The system Earl Haury was talking about the other day would be serendipidous for pattern modellers

  Of course, as Jerry stated and Tony F and Jason S.  have already found out, a well thought out, balanced, electric set-up should eliminate the vibration completely
