<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lance, if the switch fails there is no power to
the receiver. How can it go to fail safe?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's painful to hear your story. Happened
to me before too. I lost a plane due to a switch that appeared fine on
the ground but didn't have enough "clickage" to maintain it in flight.
Another due to a broken wire inside the insulation. With the system
on, Roll the wires between your fingers and look for a defective wire in the
power path.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Need some insight...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using a JR10 radio and PCM receiver. Plane in
a vertical climb at full power. Lost power pretty high in the sky, plane
did a tail slide and flipped to a straight down line. No response. Noticed
that the engine was not stopped but idling. It took between 6-10 sec
of a straight down line until it disintegrated on the runway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Immediately thought 'fail safe' which was set
to idle and neutral controls. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Battery and switch checks did not show any
obvious problem. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interference is unlikely due to the long
elapsed time w/o any response as well as a subsequent <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Frequency sweep check which did not show any spurrious signals on
our frequencies.</FONT> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Transmitter voltage well above 10.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas on how to isolate the cause? or
just junk the receiver and even the transmitter as our previous experience
with repairs on intermittent problems are not encouraging.</FONT></DIV>
