I’d try to tow it up to height kind of what Bixler did with David and his huge glider.

Still sure you’d have more fun if you could get it really high with a onboard cam like you want to do and glide it down. That’s what I would have done if the Simple Soarer I once had would have flown well. I’ll redo that model someday, to busy for that right now.
That I think would be a great idea though not sure how a v tail setup works with slope soaring. There is a thread that has some great footage of SS I know you’ve seen it. It might be good ask there for tips on SS with v tail type air craft.Other than the DLG launch I am keen to find a slope sight to see what might be possible!
I think @PsyBorg has said a few things on overlapping and twisting wires, I think, sorry if it wasn’t you psyborg.@Hai-Lee - Sorry to bother you - how much likelihood is there in getting servo jitter from excessive and overlapping wires inside the fuse - where in your opinion are the dos and don'ts?
There are a few causes of servo jitter ranging from a Tx gimbal issue through to a servo actually being loaded slightly by the control surface when in the neural position.@Hai-Lee - Sorry to bother you - how much likelihood is there in getting servo jitter from excessive and overlapping wires inside the fuse - where in your opinion are the dos and don'ts?
Sounds like you are on the trail to a permanent solution!Ok, I think the elevator channel is causing the flutter of the elevator and the ailerons - no load on ch2 servo still has flutter - swapping servos from ch1 and ch2 still has flutter - dropped the rates on cg 1 and ch2 still has flutter - no ch2 servo gives no aileron flutter - seems ch1 and ch5 are fine on there own.
Either the Tx pot or Rx ch2 or actual servo is the issue - flutter continues without motor connected to ESC.
I’ll try a new elevator servo next.
It could be something as simple as when the faulty servo tried to drive its motor it dragged the voltage rail down slightly. This drop was coupled to the other servos where the position feedback potentiometer is tied between the voltage rail and ground. Hence the voltage drop could be coupled to the position determining part of the servo circuitry. The change in feedback voltage would cause the servo to drive to the new position. and when the faulty servo stopped the driving the rail would rise and the other servos would return to their previous position, and so on adinfinitum!@Hai-Lee - tentatively I think the elevator servo is bung in some way - I swapped the servo to the elevator of my trainer and there was no more flutter - I really appreciate your input!
it is strange that the elevator servo could be affecting the ailerons - will investigate more - tomorrows a new day!
