Hi

I am running into some issues with my DX8. For some strange reason the rudder is coming off centre (at around 40%) every time I move the elevator stick FULL Down. I have to move the elevator FULL up, and the rudder stick left or right and sometimes the rudder gets centred again.

Any ideas? I have written to Horizon Hobby already.

Regards

Sounds like a servo problem more than a radio problem unless you have a weird mix set into the transmitter

Well... the problem is that this happenseven when the transmitter is turned on with no receivers... stand alone.

Could the servo arms be bumping into each other ?

Biker, think you for the response.

No, I do not think it relates to the servo's as I experienced the same when the TX is turn on by itself.

I have a DX8 and it has had a few bugs but over all it has been a fairly good radio . ,One thing I found if you are using NiCd Rx pac's you should be useing 5 cell . Let us know what you finally find out .

Thank you Biker,

No, I am using the LIPO pack... Yes, you are right it is a good radio and would hate to go back to my DX7

If it's such a great transmitter why are you two having issues?

Nobody is saying otherwise... My TX has a problem and not even calibrating it solves the problem, so most likely I will have to get it serviced...

jetmech05 just because a piece of equiptment needs service on ocasion dosen't mean that you should give up on it and look for something else . I sent my transmitter in once for service and updates .It turned out there was nothing wrong with the transmitter . My battery pac was the faulty part . If you are using NiCd's Spektrum likes 5 cell pacs and I was using 4 cell . It cost me a wing on a 1/3 Scale Cub to find that out . I thought my transmitter was Screwing up but it was actually the Rx batteries , I did have a trim switch quit working on a DX7 . It was one of the older ones well beyond waranty but they fixed it for me and shipped it back for free. You can't expect more than that . As far as I can see Spektrum is top notch . I believe that some of the others are just as good possibly better in some ways but I know how to programe my radio and I don't know how to programe the others . There is nothing wrong with voicing your opinion about how you like your equiptment. Its not to say that there is anything wrong with yours .
