Hi Guys,

It is with great CAUTION that I say; I think my problem is solved.

I got the receiver back an installed it yesterday. The clutch lining was tight, so I sanded it until it seemed not to drag. I just gave it a test and all seems well. I did not fly it, I only started it, ran it up, and tested the range while it was tethered. The clutch DOES engage in idle but I hope that is because it is new.

During the test, the started shaft came loose so I stopped. I plan to tweek it tonight and give it a test fly tomorrow. I will run and entire take of fuel while it is tied down before I try to fly.

Keep your fingers crossed guys. More tomorrow. Take care........jster
