Hi guys, I've posted a bit about my intermitent glitching problem but now the plot thickens since I have 2 Electron 6 rx's that sometimes for no apparent reason will begin to violently glitch and twitch like crazy. What is strange is that flipping the gear switch on the tx will stop it momentarily or change it's pattern..... but nothing is plugged into that channel 5 except the battery.

So far it seems that it's just those 2 Electron 6 rx's that are bad since I bought one new tx and had the other nearly new one checked over by Futaba. I've switched crystals, double checked antenna, and everything I can think of. Sometimes it won't do it for a month or two and sometimes it does it right away. Crazy. I have a couple of new receivers coming so those 2 Electron 6's will be on the back burner. Thanks for any input.

Thanks,

Ernie

Wise choice in replacing them. Give them a toss.

That's not a wise choice. Send them in and it's possible we will repair or replace them at no charge. If they are not covered under warranty.... we'll give you other options; THEN you can decide if you want to "toss them!"

Hi Mike, if I send them in would it do any good to mention that you are familiar with my stuggles with these 2 rx's?

Thanks,

I did have a Electron 6 that would glitch now and again. Turned out to be a loose crystal connector. Of all my Rx's I have had the only ones I trust are my Electron 6's and my Airtronics.

Send them in. No reason to throw them away.

Are you using the same servos and just changing the rx for the other? Could be a bad servo causing the problem. I've never had a single glitch in 3 of the Electron 6's that I own. I'd start one by unplugging one servo at a time and see if you can get it to stop. If you find the bad one shelve it for parts.

Blessings,

Hi Jay, now that is something no one's mentioned, a bad servo. Hmmmm..... Now if I can just get it do do it on command, but it won't. I've tried to get it to do it all week here in the garage.

This is the 3rd plane those receivers have been in that have begun the crazy and violent gllitching from time to time. I think all the servos are new ones in this OMP Edge that started gliltching a few weeks ago.

Thanks,

Ernie
