I've just finished the install of a used Trutrak AP (old DFC-250). I've completed the ground calibration steps.
When I run the first ground test - engage the autopilot for the first time - it runs the roll servo full left and the pitch servo full down. It takes 5-10 seconds before they hit the stops.
I've spoken to Trutrak and after walking thru the setup to insure everything was as they expected, they suggested an inflight test. If the issue is still occurring to send in the controller. The bad news is these units are long out of warranty and if it is not "something simple" I'm back to square one.
I'm posting on the off chance the symptoms sound familiar to someone.
