Help!
I'm having trouble with my CAP. It's outlived all of its nine lives today. I can't believe it is in one piece. The engine is powering up on its own during flight. I don't know if it is mechanical, or electronic. Slamming the throttle stick full travel each way got me back control on one occasion.
I've tried three different brand new receivers. Two different brand new servos. And, re-routing the ignition wires. Everything I do seems to have a temporary slight improvement. But, after a couple of minutes of flight the engine will power down to low idle... or power up to full throttle... and stick there. This is not a good thing when you're 3D'n on the deck.<g>
The throttle pushrod is nyrod... and the throttle servo is back by the turtle deck... over 24" from the ignition. The inside aileron servos are actually closer. So, if it is interference from the ignition... then why doesn't it hit the ailerons, too?
If I can't figure this out... either I can't fly this plane... or it is definitely going in.
Wayne... remember Mickey adjusted my throttle stick tension way down? Do you think he might have created a problem somehow?
