<DIV>A friend of mine had the exact same problem on his 9Z. Turned out to
be the elevator pot. He sent it in to two separate places to get it fixed, but
until the pot was replaced, the problem remained...</DIV>

WC2 transmitter problem</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>My transmitter has recently developed a weird
problem and only seems to be<BR>affected on the elevator channel (Mode
1)<BR><BR>What happens is when I move the elevator gimbals to approximately
95% down<BR>elevator the servo will reverse to up elevator. <BR><BR>I have
checked all my mixes and programming and can confirm this is not
the<BR>problem area. I have also checked all my flight systems and the problem
is<BR>not there.<BR><BR>I have cross checked everything and the consensus
leads to a problem in the<BR>transmitter. My new model has dual elevator
servo's and the problem causes<BR>both servo's to reverse so that <BR>Confirms
the problem is in the transmitter.<BR><BR>The problem is evident on all 6
models programmed in my transmitter.<BR><BR>I initially thought the problem
was a faulty or dirty elevator pot but some<BR>tests I recently carried out
don't convince me this is the problem. My<BR>suspicions are that I may have a
cable problem somewhere between<BR>The elevator pot and the main processor
board so I have since ordered a<BR>replacement set of ribbon cables.<BR><BR>I
know most of you are asking yourself why not send the radio in to a
proper<BR>service centre. We just don't have people in Australia that I trust
enough<BR>to carry out any work with Futaba systems. I guess if all else
fails<BR>I will send it to Japan at great cost.<BR><BR>Anyway I recently
became aware of another local WC2 transmitter which has<BR>exactly the same
problem as mine. Now I am starting to think that this may<BR>be a common
problem. Has anyone else on this mailing list ever experienced <BR>a similar
problem?<BR><BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Peter<BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion
