OK I want to thank all for there help. I just now pulled the RCxel Opto kill switch out of the circuit and the problem went away. I don't understand why but it works. Can anyone explain why the opto kill would cause interference? Well at any rate that was the problem so I will probably just do without till I can upgrade the ignition to the RCxel ignition and then I will try the opto kill switch again.
Thanks to all who responded I knew that I would get all the help I needed here on RCU.
I Love this Hobby not only because it is great fun but because there is always someone willing to help someone who is having trouble or who is new to the hobby.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUY'S YOU'RE THE BEST!
Suburban,
Before you spend any real money, ask one of your flying buddies if you can plug in HIS Opto-kill and try to run it, and see what happens. If it replicates the problem, borrow an ignition and try that instead. If it stops, reinstall your Opto and you probably will still have good results (this would mean it was the ignition and not the Opto).
Identify the bad part this way.
If an electronic component goes bad in a certain way, it can send a sort of noise through the ground wire to the system. It doesn't happen often, and switching out the part solves it. The problem may not be your Opto-kill switch, it may be your ignition. Whichever it is, once you identify it and switch out the offending item, you probably won't have any issues like that again. It can happen from an opto-switch, a servo, anything with a PC board.
I hope this helps some.
