Fred,

Who did you talk to at S-Tec? Please send me the name and number. I=20

have the same problem and need to make the fix. I have been flying=20

for a year planning on fixing the S-Tec 30 but always keep putting it=20

off. When I spoke with someone in tech service at S-Tec they did not=20

seem to have a good answer. I guess you need to get the right person.

As I understand it, it is a matter of changing the gain, which can be =
done
by putting a resistance in the circuit, or changing (reducing) the level =
arm
of the servo.  The amount of the resistance, or length of the arm =
depends on
your installation. Someone on here solved the problem by removing the
arm-plate, and bolting the pushrod directly to the hub.  Be sure you =
take
measures to prevent it from going over-center.

I drilled the servo arm very close to the hub, as far in as I could go =
and
still get the full travel that I needed.  I'll eventually see how it =
works
when I fly.  The advantage in wiring in the pot is you can adjust the
resistance until you get the response you want; then put in that fixed
value.
