Dave....

I've just had a look at the Liberty 182 manual on the Black Horse site

& you're absolutely right - it says 15mm up,15mm down.

Servos often do buzz a little at max deflection & usually this is acceptable

wthin reason.

Would be a good idea to program some expo in for the ailerons to soften the

control around neutral.Try around 40% for a start - you might want even more.

Hi David

I have sent a pm.

[david 7]

Thanks for info Tom, how much up and down movement on alierons do you fly your liberty with as 15mm movement is a lot, anyextra advise would most welcomed

Thanks Dave.

HI David

My 182 ia flown in basic trainer mode with 7mm up 3mm down,but the rudder is also coupled to give 10mm each way.

Thanks for checking it out Tom, should be ready in few days to maiden her

one of the other club members has one but been unable to contact him for the alieron travel, only going to fly her as a trainer only got my wings 3 months ago at the club, been flying a mentor trainer with 520 watts at hand a lot of power for a 35 year old trainer, but files excellent just hope the the liberty is as good .

Thanks dave.

The 182 is a "pussy cat" and requires very little power ,progressive application advised mine .handles very well on the ground and in the air,good luck for the maiden.

Ok Mr Bailey, the way I do it is centre the aileron, hold it in place with a couple of clothes pegs. Plug in the servo and let it find it's centre, 90degrees to the aileron Make up the rod Iike to screw the clevis down about half way. Trim up the servo end to allow for your white keeper. If things go slightly wrong
adjustments can be done at the clevis end.

Where did all the Davids photos go?

[david 7]

Thanks seamus, you had me worried for a moment that my photos had gone i can send some more as i need the practice i think every ones had a enough of my alierons i know i have.

I did remove the hinges that came with the kit i dont know what they call them they absorb the ca glue, i found they made the hinge very stiff i think that was causing the servos to flutter and buzz or icould have put to much ca on them, have now removed them and put mylar hinges on so much better no flutter or buzz, could of had the model finished the time its taken to me to sort this out, if im not happy with the set up im not going to be confident with flying it .

 

Thanks to every one regarding my job its buissness as usual at the moment .

Dave.

Hi David,

Well done for sorting out the hinges - you did exactly the right thing

to sort 'em out if you weren't happy with them.

Just one thing with mylar hinges - they should really be pinned as well

for extra security as they can easily come adrift (I've had this happen)

A bit of cocktail stick is ideal.

Drill through the aileron & hinge from underneath to just passed halfway -

through the hinge put try not to come through the top.

Push in the bit of stick & secure with a drop of CA.

 

That's good news about your job.
