Default RE: Tips and thoughts:-)

WCB.. Bad connection??.. wires pulled out of connector, chafing bare wire?
I just removed the receiver and checked all the wires/plugs etc.,( I'm using
two channels only because I wanted to see if flaps would help flat spinning
of the 4*...No) all looked in perfect shape including ant. and ant wire is as
far away as possible. So I stringed and taped the wire of the wing servo and
pulled the rt. side out, again all looked to be brand new and fully connected..
So I moved the wing somewhat ^%$#*&^ and the weight of the servo
wire started it sliding off the wing.... And #@*(&%$^... NO.. I did not tie
something to the other side of the string:-( I made it Soooo long, I thought
it would be OK and it was, except it was not long enought to go from the table
to the floor and still say in the wing... Anyway at least I know all is good with
the Rt. side, I'm still going to ohm the wires and move them around just in
case.. But the way it looks, I don't think I'll find anything wrong.. So now
starting to think how big a cut I need to make so I can get the wire back in:-(
And because of that... I will continue tomorrow.... Darn another no fly day....

Andy... I was moving the throttle (while airborn) when I had the problem
just to see if that had anything to cause it.. And you know it did seem to
stop the problem when I was at idle but I really did not test that long.. It's
kind of a funny feeling:-( So I landed.. But I did cycle the engine along with
moving the ailirons with the trans ant. down from about 50' on the bench
and no problems?? Well if you read above... my Rt. side looks to be good
But because I was so dumb.... I had to stop and will continue tomorrow:-(
