Gary, I just bought the Evo 9. Interesting Tx to program. The reason that I bought it was to replace what I thought was a faulty TrackerIII radio. The radio seemed to be getting the same symptoms you described. I may have just found the problem. WHne I went to the wreckage of the plane that crashed, after I moved the plane I got servo response. Didn't think much of it at the time, thought it was the radio. I was just trying to use the same receiver battery from that crash & it turns out the battery wouldn't power anything. I opened the battery pack up and one of the tabs that connects the cells had come off. I'm not sure if this was the cause or not, although it seems like it might be the culprit.

I had a similar problem in a plane two weeks before that using the same battery pack, it was like I had just turned the radio off, but it was on. But what makes me wonder if there is a problem with the radio is that I was also flying an electric plane that powers the servos from the li-po flight battery pack and it did the same thing for a few seconds. Luckily that one recovered. I'm going to send that radio in again, (this will be the 3rd trip into the shop). When it comes back I'll just use it for my parkflyers.

Anyhow, just saying you might want to check the receiver pack you were using.
