Just installed GRT pitch and roll servos on my RV-7 and it changed the control feel of the aircraft significantly. I love love LOVE the way my light and simple -7 handles. But, I fly a bunch of long cross countries – which can get fatiguing. So, I figured installing an autopilot was a good idea. After the install, the control response significantly heavier. Much of the magic handling is gone – to the point I'm considering removing and selling the servos. Granted, I've only done one test flight with the new servos to date. So, maybe I'll get used to it. But, I'm pretty disappointed in the effect so far...
Is this just the cost of business for having an autopilot?
Do you get used to the heavier control feel?
Are there alternate servos that don't drag on the controls?
Thanks!
