It is probably the case with this fellow, and possibly even in most cases, but I still do not agree with this at all. See When USALS Won't Work

I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this, I'm still convinced that being out of sync can definately be caused by the motor not being centered. If you look at the example I posed the last time Steve and I argued on this, ie

http://www.sadoun.net/forums/fortec-...sals#post48303

it becomes obvious (at least to me ) that USALS simply cannot work if the motor is not centered, and my motor was not centered when I got it. I'm pretty sure that this centering problem can be corrected by doing a hard reset on the motor, but I have not tried this yet.

My main reason for continually coming back to this issue, is that I'm convinced that it is possible to have a perfectly aligned system that doesn't work properly with USALS, and I think that in some cases people are being told to go back and disrupt the alignment of systems that are already aligned. (Again, not in this case, because I don't think it's possible for this system to be in alignment when the person doesn't even know what sat he is on).
