[NSRCA-discussion] Servo speed (slower on purpose?)

[Stuart Chale]

Ok this one seems strange to me.  So I thought I would ask it here. I 
have been reading some of the threads on RCU, especially the ones on the 
BJ Craft Nuance and Episode as I have an Episode coming (Thanks Chris).  
Several times it has been mentioned the recommendation for a slower 
rudder servo speed, especially if you prefer an aft CG.  Now that just 
seems counter intuitive.  Maybe we should dig out our old KPS 15's.
Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Now for a situation with the same subject that I really thought was 
quite amusing (up to now).
last summer one of our club members brought out a Byron P-51 Mustang 
with the original 4 blade prop and Byro reduction drive.  Pretty cool 
plane but definitely smaller that I thought it was.  Well anyway he was 
having a tough time landing it but finally greased it in perfectly at a 
fairly high rate of speed.  A second later on the flair and it would 
have been retracts through the wings.  Anyway he asked me to look at his 
radio as it had started to rain when he was flying and when he landed 
the screen was blank.  The surfaces still moved but the elevator servo 
was really slow.  I told him something was wrong there too but he 
corrected me saying he slowed down his elevator servo on purpose for 
more scale realism.    Now  I really do still think that is funny.
