For those of you that have flown with and without A/P servos hooked up in your RVs, is there a noticeable reduction on flight control sensitivity after installing the servos? Or if anyone has noticed that a paint job reduces sensitivity?
I have a RV7A, and likely will be adding on the Dynon SV32 A/P servos in the near future.....right now the plane is super responsive to the slightest control input...so much so that other RV 6 and 7 owners that the first thing that say after taking the controls is that is it is much more responsive (one comment was "twitchy" ) than their planes (which are 'fully loaded" planes and weight a bit more than mine which is 1,035 lbs)....
Currently the plane is not fully painted....didn't know if that gives the control input more sensitivity, or if it could be that the A/P servos would have an impact....just wondering the experience others have seen as they start to add more bells and whistles....
Thanks,
Paul
