[NSRCA-discussion] Analog Servo RF Masking and....Thanks!

 Can you believe that the JR dig. servos will sense the weight of the control surfaces and they will continously try to center against the weight. As long as you don't have binding in the surfaces this is normal.Having the tail wheel connect to the rudder will cause the rudder servo to drive as long as it sits on the ground.
 When you take off and the plane leaves the ground the buzzing stops.You have to listen real close tho'.

  Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Analog Servo RF Masking and....Thanks!


  First I would like to thank everyone for the great advice on these last few posts I've posted. Everyone has been a big help.

  I'd like to ask if anyone knows if an analog servo would mask glitches coming in?
  (2 - Futaba 3010's, 2 - Hitec HS77's, 1 - HS81MG) 

  When I connect my JR digital servos ( 2 - 9411sa's, 1 - 8411sa, 1 - 8417, 1 - 3421sa) I get a pretty significant, constant glitch, as if the servos are constantly trying to center, but they have no load what so ever. This is the problem I have described in previous posts. 

  When I connect analog servos in an identical set up, there is no "noise" at all. I range tested them at 100 feet with 1 antenna section up and there is no loss in speed and no sluggish behavior. I also range tested this at about 300 feet with the antenna completely down just for kicks, and I get the same results. 

  When I range test the digital servos, even at the 100 foot range with the antenna completely extended there is a significant, constant glitch. The servos, receiver, and transmitter have all just gotten back from being checked and the 9411sa's had new pots put in, the receiver had been re-tuned to the frequency, and the transmitter got a new antenna. I am very surprised with these results as I just spent a fair amount of money to have my electronics looked at and deemed well. 

  Now, my question again, are my analog servos just masking a problem, or is this solely a problem in the digital servos?

  Thanks a ton everyone!

  Scott
