What can go wrong in a transmitter?
Hey guys,
Well I ventured out to my club today for the first time. I met with a bunch of really nice folks all there to have a good time, help and maybe learn something.
As luck would have it, during my first check-out by an instructor, we started experiencing significant servo gitter. Well after much discussion, elimination and experimentation, we narrowed down the issue to the transmitter itself (the definitive test was when we took out my tx crystal and put it into someone elses tx, yielding a perfectly flyable setup... no jitter!)
So what can go wrong inside there? This is the first time I've had it out; a Futaba 6EXA. I plan on taking it back to my LHS, but to satisfy my own curiousity, I'd like to understand a bit more about what goes on inside, and where potential breakdowns can occur.
Hopefully I can get this tx either replaced at the lhs, or fixed soon. Talk about frustrating!!
Thanks guys
