I am a member of the Belfast Model Flying Club in Northern Ireland. We are a dedicated Control Line club who dabble in RC flying.

I bought a Bill Young handle a few years back so that I could run "down the line" throttle control to a 54" wing span Avro Shackleton Mk3 that I have built.

When I connected everything up as per instructions nothing happened. I checked that a signal was getting down my lines but still the ESC's refused to operate. When I installed an RC receiver bingo all worked exactely as planned - 4 motors running and a beautiful noise.

SO - The maiden flight consisted of myself with the handle and another member with the transmitter for throttle control - RESULTCRASH but thankfully repairable.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can get the handle to work or suggestions on an alternative method for down the wire throttle control.

If this cannot be achieved with the Bill Young handle then it is up for sale.

Thanks
