RD6000 Throttle Problems...again and again!
About a year ago, my RD6000 developed an intermittant problem with the thottle. Ordinarily, if the throttle control is not at idle when you switch on the TX, it displays a warning and will not transmit until you bring the throttle all the way down. Mine stopped doing that and was sent in to Airtronics. The throttle pot was replaced. About a month ago, guess what? Yep, same problem! Back to Airtronics,.. the Tx was recalibrated and returned.
I tried to go flying today... yep you guessed it... same problem!
So far, its cost me about $100.00 (postage, insurance and taxes when it comes back over the border-I live in Canada) and a lot of missed flying! As you can all imagine I'm just a little frustrated!
What I'd like to know is whether any of you RD6000 users have had the same problem (..or have any ideas...I've tried everything I can think of) before I call Airtronics and have a temper tantrum at the service manager. Have I just got a "lemon"?
Thanks for letting me blow off steam (and for your input)
