Todd,

The Sorcerer/g900x in my IVP works very well with no roll hunting (24 volt system). It is also solid in pitch below 220 or so. Above 220 it may take a few hunts (+- 50 feet) before it stabilizes but I don't find it objectionable. The servos supplied came through Lancair 5 years ago..... I can look and try to get some numbers if this doesn't sort out for you through TT.

I would contact Lucas at TT as to the latest scoop on servos. He has been very responsive to my initial questions and knows his stuff. TT recently merged so don't know if the service level changed.

Does anyone who has a sorcerer find it tracks smooth? On my AFPilot the standard servo has a problem rolling at high speed. You can hear the servo ratchet as the stepper motor jumps. Once it does this it starts a sort of oscillation.  Back and forth at a fairly high rate. Doesn't turn to much. If I hold the stick steady it calms down. From what I see quite a few have had to upgrade to the higher torque servo. Since I just bought my setup this year would be nice had they just quoted it with the high torque knowing the standard might be too weak. 
There was an S-TEC 55x in it before. But since the HSI was upgraded to glass nothing wanted to talk to it anymore. Barely a fancy wing leveler at that point. 

Bill which tru track do you have? What is it hooked to that is driving it.
