RE: Perplexed over Hitec's Electron 6 +ive Shift RX
Leadsolo,
One of the great news that you changed the receiver and your problem's solved. I bought Hitec's Supreme IIS on Ebay, I think that I was handed a bad receiver, which caused a lot of flutter and ultimately my plane crashed. Send it over to Hitec tech department, all they did is re-tuned/ re-alligned it and told me now you can use it without worry. I believe 'em. Now Electron 6 which I was using with my Mustang and crashed due to my mistake never had problems not a single one, I used it previously not a single problem. I have sent my Electron 6 to Hitec's tech department and waiting on their verdict. Good thing you did change the RX and your problem is solved. If you are using JR your receiver is Positive shift, as negative shift won't work with your TX. I also started a thread about dual or single conversion and learned that if the receiver is dual conversion Xtal should be dual conversion as well, if receiver is single conversion which does not have extended range Xtal should be single conversion. I'm sure you were using dual conversion Xtal with your receiver and the same frequency. My frequency of JR radio 5 channel XF421EX is 72.810 Channel 51, so I use the Same dual conversion receiver and same dual conversion Xtal with the same frequency 72.810.
My best suggestion is for you is to send your Electron 6 to Hitec's technical department, have them check it what's going on with it and do write them regarding your problem and what you experienced while using it or on flight. Send it over to their department with the description of your problem, and you would get the right answer. Unfortunately now I have no plane to fly[&o][&o][&o]. I'm waiting for the mid or end of june to have a plane, until then nothing[:@]
Good Luck.
