Can you describe a little more about what you mean by "jumping around the sky and dropping a wing?" Is it possible you were getting glitches?

I've looked back in the thread and seen your setup, and I do have a few comments.

First, are you still trying to use the ParkZone 1800 mAh LiPo? The Park 480, 1020kV is rated at 28A burst current. The 1800 pack is a 15C battery, so it should be able to do 27A continuous. However, if you've done any damage to the pack in the past, perhaps by running it in a model until you hit low voltage cutoff, it might not be able to put out what you're asking from it any more. You could be getting enough voltage drop at full throttle that the ESC isn't able to feed the receiver the voltage it needs, hence spotty rf performance shown by glitches. Maybe you should try a more-capable battery.

Second, what's the history on your ParkZone receiver? Did you crash the model it was originally in? Have you done a range check with the Sea Fury both power on and power off?

Third, it could be you're getting electromagnetic interference (EMI) of some kind that only shows up at full throttle. EMI can be weird, showing up when you don't expect it. Again, range checking both power-off and power-on is important, especially in this situation.

Last weekend I built a Sea Fury for myself (my personal fleet) with a Park 480 and I got to maiden it during the week. I hadn't flown one since last September when I was in China, so I had forgotten how well it flies. Locked-in feel, very fast and aerobatic, smooth and fun. But I flew it using a ParkZone 2200 pack with an unknown history, and when I landed the pack was a little on the soft side. It looked OK after it cooled down a little (it never got hot, just slightly warm) and I wasn't afraid to charge it, which went OK, but I'm not going to fly that pack again in the Sea Fury.

Sounds alot like radio glitches. My Sea Fury flies straight as an arrow no matter what position or throttle it is at. Try a range check with the model on the ground at full power make sure all control surfaces stay rock solid always a good idea with a new model no matter how reliable the reciever has been in previous models.

Thanks for your help when she is flying at full power it turns and drop down hard . Take the power to 50-60% flying well . Will check the plane out on the ground with full power on. If it is glitches how would you stop it

If it glitches check the routing of the antenna make sure it is not ran next to any power wires. Also read Davids post. Was the reciever in a crash? If so that could be the problem. Receiver may look good but being electronics maybe a cold solder joint broke. Also the part about the battery being damaged is a good point.

Well, if it happens with the motor on but not with the motor off, they aren't glitches (interference from an outside source) but it's electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interference from an internal source.

Check the routing of your aileron leads. Do they go nearby the battery leads? If so the magnetic field created by the power flowing through the battery leads could be creating problems with the aileron signals.
