Devo10 horizontal stick centering issue

SOLVED!!! Please read below.

Hi,

Please take a look at the video I just made. Watch channel 4 on the channel monitor page.

Anyone seen this effect?

I have this on both of my horizontals. ~10% on the rudder, and ~3% on the Aileron. 0% on the verticals.



Calibration cannot fix this. Nothing is loose or rattling... What is this?

Thanks,
bm

I have seen similar on my Devo12 where the aux4-7 have a notch where it jumps in. I get different values when coming from one side or the other. This seems to be a mechanical problem where the pot and the notch are not connected good enough so there is some slope.
For one of the sticks this seems not acceptable.

I'll tear it to bits (again)
If it is just a slop, I can fix it I hope...

Took me an hour but it was worth it!!!!

I have added some thin, flat metal sticky tape to the pot sticks... all of them. And it simply worked. After a calibration I get 0 difference on all pots.

I added 2 layers to the horizontal and 1 layer to the verticals.
Different plastic parts... different level of sh!tness in mold quality.

There you go - nice design, sh!tty build quality.

From now on my flight will improve

Thx for the tip, rbe.

As the DEVO range has the same mechanics, I would recommend checking this to all of you guys out there...

Good to hear that you could fix it.
Did you take a photo?

uh-oh... I knew I forgot something...

Today I had some time to fly. WHAT A CHANGE

When I'll have some time, I'll take it apart again to take some pictures and post them here.

I dont know when though... I have just received my TREX 450 PRO DFC 3GX super combo kit today... I'll try to make the pics before I start to assemble the kit. Otherwise... it will be hopeless for some time

any pictures yet?
PLEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

sorry - none
I'll give a try this week...

I took the radio to bits and made some pictures today. Hang on, I'll post them tonight.
cheers, bm

...aaaand here are the pics.
I have put some metal self-adhesive tape on ALL pots, both on the positioning pin and the turn shaft. This cancelled all plays. I had zero play on the verticals, but just in case, I did those too
cheers,
bm

nice diy fix ima give it a go as i have a bit of centering issues as well .
