Hey all,
Ok today I broke out the Raptor for the first time since summer for a few flights...but it was acting very strange. When I started it, it was at like 1/4 throttle already...and when I move throttle stick it didn't do anything!
I notice the throttle servo wasn't moving at all...and no, throttle hold was not on '
So I cut off the fuel to carb to shut it down...lo and behold the throttle servo worked fine when it was off! When on...no throttle...off, fine.
I do have a Throttle Jockey Pro governor on it, but it seems ok...the set LED lights green when above 25% throttle and goes off when below.
I'm recharging the receiver battery right now to see if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?

Do you have a Spektrum Radio? I've had mine show solid lights and then find that no connection was made. Now I move the sticks around after I check my receiver lights.
