  • Sluggish tail servo

    Just getting my Trex 450 together (finally). The HS50 seems really sluggish when plugged in through the GY240 gyro....this servo should be up to the job.

    Any ideas ??.

    The servo is brand new, but I did but the gyro second hand (came with another model).

    Cheers,

    Simon

    Make sure Your EPA (End point adjustment) Or (Travel) menu with JR Radio is 100% minimum on channel 4 (Rudder). Worth a try first mate

      Will give it a go.

      Not having much luck with tail servos. My 9252 on the Trex600 packed in without warning today. Only had 7 flights.....bit **** poor really.

        Sorry to hear that mate.
        Try adjusting the EPA first (Mine is set to 125% for fast tail response)
        You're probably aware that when adjusting EPA on the rudder channel only, it has nothing to do with the travel distance but actually alters the speed or resolution of the tail servo. The actual range of travel is adjusted at the gyro itself, and/or playing around with servo horn lengths.
        If that has no affect disconnect the gyro from CH4 on the receiver, plug the tail servo directly into the receiver CH4 and check for comparison speedwise....
