futaba 149DP with 6v
#1

Thread Starter

i have been using a futaba 149DP with 6v supply forever...suddenly one reciever has gone crazy. It jitters with a 6v supply. In case of a 4.8v it behaves. What could have happened out of the blue?

does it go away after a few minutes or does it stay....?

Any strange behavior on a receiver should be resolved. I would pack it up and send it to Futaba for a checkout. If you have had a hard landing or two on it, or there is a lot of viberation, it may have lost one of it's ceramic filters. The 149DP is worth the cost of having it repaired by Futaba.
