I have a Trio EZ Pilot I just can't get quite right. It's supposed to be easier than this.
Problem:
In cruise (160+ kts) it will wag the wings to the point of making me sick. It holds course fine, but it still wags the wings rather badly. The stick is constantly hunting. I have flown with others and their performance is so smooth you can't even tell their Trio is flying the airplane! My servo is mounted in the outter-most wing bay with the SafeAir1 mounting kit.
Attempted Fixes:
I have double-checked all the control linkages...everything is snug and there is no slack. There is no binding in the pushrods and everything moves freely. I sent the servo and head back to Trio. They re-worked my Servo, replaced the printed board, updated the software on the head and bench tested everything, but the behavior is unchanged.
I have followed the calibration procedures outlined in the manual as accurately as possible, including setting the center position and course and track gains.
It seems that at slower airspeeds the servo behaves a lot better but up at cruise it will make you sick.
I'm not bashing Trio...they have gone above and beyond to help me work this out. I'm posting here in hopes that someone else has had this problem that may have a good idea.
