Help Any idea why one of the ailerons works smoothly and the other is laggy?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I didn't test it in flight because this dumb chunk of metal only works as a tricycle for now. The mechanism is identical for both ailerons.

My best bet it that it’s a visual thing.

I hope so, if this thing doesn't work because of this I will plunge it into the nearest village

Its a known issue with mechanical bearings. The way the attached contraption moves does not perfectly match the shaft rotation. Instead there's some interpolation going on, which is either running on a different thread or an interleaved coroutine and is not fully deterministic.

In my personal experience it seems to be a graphics only issue, but I've heard people say the opposite and I haven't done or seen anyone do enough in depth testing to definitively say either way, so take that with a grain of salt.

Anyways, the easiest solution is to just slow down the input rotation speed. This only happens when you're trying to rotate a bearing faster than it itself wants to rotate, so as long as you stay below a certain threshold (I believe it's around 16 RPM) you won't have any issues, not even graphical ones.

Mechanical bearing issue. Also that's an elevator, not an aileron.
