Anthony Green Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hello All, I understand that the buzz from the servo is because of friction from the control rods. I am just setting up a Blackhorse Speed Air...The control rods are already installed just need to be cut to size and connected. The instructions say to bend the control rod a feed through the servo and then use those plastic clips to hold the rods in place. Now this is my problem, when the clips aren't on there is no servo buzz but the rods slip out of the servo arm when a put the clips on the buzzing starts...Has anyone any ideas to how i can get this to stop? All help would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Green Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Eric Thanks, Its fitted with servo arms not discs, and the rod is slipping out of the servo arm, however and just has a thought of putting a z bend on the wire this would then stop it slipping and there would be no need for the clips.

winchweight Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What make are the servos? I have had a few sets of JR servos that buzzed regardless of whether they're loaded or not. My Super Air had them in the wings and flew many times without issue, buzzing all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260 Flyer Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 It sounds as if the servo arm is below the pusrod and as the arm moves toward the pushrod tube it is trying to bend the wire. You may have to raise the servo so the arm lines up with the pushrod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Green Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi they are futaba s3003 servos, They didnt buzz in my other plane, i adjusted the aileron control rods and managed to stop that servo buzzing, but i still have the other three buzzing, i have adjusted the rods and moving the servo arm but i hadn't thought of moving the servo higher... don't know if this is pratical in the speed air, but will have a look tonight. So does the buzzing damage the servos or is it just draining the battery quicker?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260 Flyer Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Newer servos with Coreless motors will overheat and die if they cannot home.Don't ask me how I know this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Dewis Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi ive built a super air and found that the control rods where of such poor quality that they broke when trying to do either the L bend or the z bend i had the same tight fit with the plastic keepers also the rods bound in the sleeves so i had the same buzzing in the end i changed over to snakes and that fixed the problems.
