Re: [RCSE] Servo Chatter
Thanks for everybodys help on the servo chatter issue. I have all kinds of useful tips and Im gonna try to implement as many of them as I can and get those swine servos to settle down..

Re: [RCSE] Servo Chatter
Hi Michael, I read the other comments on servo chatter and they all have merit. The main problem is overloading or swamping the servos with RF energy. When adjusting the servo travel or just checking to see that all is well keep your antenna collapsed and away from the wing. The capacitors work and I like best Torroid beads at the servos on the information lead. They are cheap if you know where to get them, about 15 cents each and they really work. If you want the address for the beads let me know. What they do is act like a parallel tuned circuit that blocks RF energy in a certain frequency band. They really do work. thermals, Art Michael Martz wrote: > -- > I just got an old RnR Nova flying and for some reason the servos > chatter constantly. I have a 1400mah 5 cell pack in it.

Re: [RCSE] Servo Chatter
I had a plane that did this, though the wiring was different. Small ceramic caps between the signal and ground leads, right next to the servos, seemed to cure the problem. It wasn't really a problem in flight anyway, because it only occured close to the transmitter. As soon as I released the model, the surfaces settled down.
