Futaba 6014HS unlinked
Has anyone heard of this before? A friend of mine had a 6014HS unlink, this is what happened. He had flown his Lightning a few days before and all was fine. He started it up taxed to the runway, applied brakes ran turbine up released brakes a little direction correction, went to rotate and nothing. The Jet went off the end of the runway at over 100 MPH. The weeds in the field stopped it after about 300 yds. The turbine was at full throttle and would not respond to a shut off command. He shut the radio off and the turbine kept running, then he turned the radio back on, the radio linked up and killed the turbine. Fail safe was set to shut the turbine off, was checked also if power was lost to receiver it also shuts off turbine. So in my opinion the receiver was the problem.
