Default Tips and thoughts:-)

Hi all... Hope your new year is starting off great!! Well, as for me
mine started with a little glitch:-( At the field today my ailirons
had a few glitches (all other controls were fine) (Even with my 4*
pulling into a hover at about 10-15' right after lift-off:-).. Sorry I
had to throw that in.. That was a first for me)))))))))
It would every now and then drop the right wing and or jerk
without me moving the stick. And when correcting after this glitch
I seem to have complete control. Thought it was maybe wind, but
no as it did it again with little to no wind, after acouple min. I landed
and checked everything on the plane except in the wing (extension
plugs) also did range check with and without engine running and it
all checked out great at 100'+ I also replaced the batteries in the
trans. and onboard battery, well I quick charged the onboard but it
tested ok before that.. And my Freq. was clear.. But samething on
my next min. or so flight... Guess I'll pull the wing servos and look
at the connectors/wires.. Any other things to check do.. Plane has
not crashed and RD 8000/pack is under 9mo. old and have been
checked once already by airtronics about 5mo. ago after I dropped
my radio on the carpet and broke the throttle gimbal:-( Thanks
in advance for tips/help... Have a Great New Year People!!
