Jittery throttle
On one of my 6EXA transmitters, when I pull it back to idle, the engine started running funny. When I test it now, I can see the throttle glitching, only when I rest my thumb on it. If I advance the throttle one click, it goes away. Definitly a stick problem as it occurs on 2 different flight packs. Is this a common problem? the radio is only 7 months old, if there's something I can do short of sending it in I'd appreciate it.

RE: Jittery throttle
Hi John,
While this is not a common problem in newer radios such as yours, it does sound as though the throttle pot needs to be replaced. I am sorry to say, but I suggest sending it in to be repaired.
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.
Sincerely,
