Default focke wolf

Hi this is my first post so go easy...

I have a servier problem with my focke wolf.
and was wondering if anyone else had one that faults...

the trouble is that the motor will some times just randomly turn over by it's self and will some times cut out completely when at full throtle. the servo's will do this too....


any help would be great...

hi thanks for the reply..

now, this happens when ever i try turning both of them on, no matter how close that they are.
and i turn the reciever on before the transmitter..
i have anly flown once... and it crashed but it wasn't all that bad of a crash it only went about 5 foot off the ground and then went side ways... into the dirt...

thanks again for your intrests in helping...

I just started flying the Parkzone Spitfire MKIIB. I did not have any problems on it's maiden flight but the weather here in Ohio is rain all weekend so it may be a while before it goes up. I also fly the Parkzone Centurion and the plane will sometimes cut out if I'm flying it at sunset in a certain parking lot. Seems it happen most often near the lights. Not sure if the light sensors are screwing with it. The only other PZ I own is the Stryker B. Now that radio seemed to get constant interference. So much so that I'm not going to fly it until I put a reciever and speed control for my Spektrum DX6 radio. Being self taught and only started flying early this year, I can not really give you advice. Just my experience with Parkzone. That being said I still love their planes.

When you turn the airplane on first, it's receiver will do it's best ot work with the strongest signal it can find. It's really a dangerous thing to do if your airplane is an electric, and it's hard on any type airplane's servos. The receiver is not going to have a hard time finding signals.

With an electric, you really do not want the throttle suddenly arming nor the motor coming on full throttle unexpectedly.

Always turn on your TX first. And turn the TX off last. Always.
