- - 7c problems (https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/futaba-radios-direct-support-forum-125/8179607-7c-problems.html)

I was flying with a friend today and his 7c's right stick aileron input quit working properly. Is there an easy fix I can do here for it? Anything to look for?

It still sends a signal to move the servo a bit but not fully. It just more or less twitches when you apply aileron input. I have had my 7c's since their release and have never had anything like this happen. Any way of avoiding the send in process? He would like to fly this weekend in a club fly.

Just out of curiosity how have you determined that it is the transmitter that has gone bad?? I fully understand that wiring on the gimbal sticks can and have gone bad but have you eliminated the possibility that the problem could be with the servo?? Maybe the extension to that servo?? I only ask because I have seen this exact situation several times over the last couple of years and it has always turned out to be a bad servo or a bad connector on the servo extension. Just a thought.

Hi Kevin,

Unfortunately, without seeing the transmitter, we could not be sure just what is wrong with it.

Your friends best bet is to borrow a transmitter if he can and send his in to be checked out.

So I take it there is not a "common" problem with these? Not that it is common for this to happen but maybe you have seen a bunch of them with similar problems? If not no biggie but what the heck, figured I would try.

Are parts available to order for my 7 cap ? its just a pc board and a rotary dial all in one piece. I could change myself.
