OK folks...... As I had said previously it sounds mechanical!
Well my new servo's arrived and guess what there is movement between the arm and the attachment disc. However the shear screw seemed to be rock solid!
So with the locknut removed and just in my finger tips I played with the fit of the items and to my surprise there was a fair amount (microscopic but large in real terms) of movement of the arm around the head of the shear screw.
I have posted this on the Dynon site and the response I got was .... Do the thread service as per the instructions. Well if you do that the screw is going to be rock solid again but the arm can still move and does move around the shear screw head.
Has anyone else observed this, even after doing the shear screw loctite procedure?
I am not able to fly the plane yet, but some of you guys that are may be able to confirm this. It may not affect every servo, but we are talking about a very small tolerance here and unless you went looking for it you may not find it. If so we should encourage Dynon to look closer at it.
I know how I fixed mine but it should not be broadcast just yet as the Dynon folk do not need 30 different opinions on how to fix a problem in the field.
Cheers
