Shouldn't my SV's rudder turn further (see video)?
I took my SV out for its first test run, I had a hard time making any considerable left turns.
So I attempted to adjust the servo/arm linkage but I just can't get the rudder to be straight and make hard left or right turns.
Here is a video (from my phone), does it appear normal now? Will I have a better trip next time? Can you recommend any suggestions?
- I've adjusted the pivot arm on the servo and the length of the linkage arm coming off the rudder. I can only assume it should turn the rudder further than what it is currently.
Solution found! Brushless01 PMed me the answer :)
But for anyone other first timers who may run into this issue in the future here is the solution.
The last knob on the Aquacraft controller adjusts the travel of the signal to the servo. Here is a pic:
