GWS receiver glithing
HI Guys,
Yesterday I took my Formosa out for a maidain flight. When I started to walk away from the plane with the attena down to do a range check (only about 20 feet) the control sufaces were glithing wildly. The receiver is a GWS 6 c Nano single conversion type. I cheched all the connections, but still the same problem. I replaced it with a Hitec Electron 6 dual conversion and the problem went away. Has anyone had the same problem with these receivers?
Regards,
Frank

Absolutely, I will not fly a GWS reciever in anything that is sensitive to glitches. I have one in a high wing trainer and it just doesn't matter. But if it is bad at 20ft, it might be really bad.

Any of the cheap single conversion receivers are going to give you glitches. I have quite a few of the GWS rx's and I get glitches with all of them. However if you are getting glitching at 20' w/o the motor running, there is something wrong.

Got a refund and got a Hitec Micro for $30. No more worries.
