P.S.

Dan,

This is the clutch lining. Also, I am using aftermarket skids that do not have holes for an antenna tube. Do you know what others are doing to add an antenna tube?

This is the battery setup I am using. I cut the stock Futaba battery connector, soldered it to my new battery.

SUMMARY.

1. I changed the glow plug; no help.
2. I changed the engine: no help
3. I changed the battery; seemed to help at first, then; no help.
4. I bypassed the swithc; no help.
5. I oiled all bearing involved; no help.
6. I changed the clutch lining; no help.
7. I reseated the crystal; no help.
8. I replaced the crystal; no help.
9. I sent my receiver in to overhaul. They changed 3 filters. BINGO! No problems.

In an odd way, it's a good thing that happened. I have learned a great deal along the way, and found many parts that needed to be replaced. Thanks again guys.

See ya in the air (in the spring)......jster
