I have a new t6xa bought in Dec. I used the radio for the first time last weekend (Feb 1 ) It worked flawlessly. But today was a different story. I had 3 of my planes with me at my club,got them prepped and ready to fly, when I noticed a little flutter in a rudder just before I started the first plane. So I thought I better check it out. I collapsed the antenna and started to walk away, not more than 15' all the control surfaces started a violent glitching. At that time I pulled the antenna out and the glitching slowed but there was still some movement about every 5 seconds. I continued to walk further away and the glitching became violent again at 80'. I tried the other 2 planes but got the same result. When I got home I tried different crystal from my sky port radio, (same channel) that did not help.So I swapped the crystals back. Then I tried my skyport radio , I was able to walk 100' away with antenna down without a glitch. I checked the t6xa to make sure that it was set to ppm (it is). the antenna is tight , voltage is at 11.1 the only thing I've done to this radio is change from mode 2 to 1 , Is there anything Else i can check for????? Or is this one of those warranty things. Any ideas ? Thanks

Hi barkin_bob,
I would suggest sending this in to the Service Center to be checked.
I at first would have said that it might have only been interference on your channel at your field, but since you had the same problem at home later then it sounds like it may be your transmitter.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
