Electrics

Hi

I've recently bought a supercub (having lost my spitfire in a tree), and I'm slowly getting to grips with it. I went to fly it today and something appears to be wrong with the electrics. Having turned the transmitter on, when I plug in the battery the rudder moves fully across to the right and the tail flaps fully elevate and the prop won't start up. Anyone know what might be the problem?

I don't know really but it sounds like the kind of problem I expect with RTF planes; after the receiver in my first Spitfire burnt out jamming the motor on at full speed whenever the battery was connected.

I suppose the only thing I can suggest is taking or sending the plane back where it came from and asking them if they can find the problem and replacing your plane, or ordering another receiver on the same channel as your transmitter in the hope that it will fix the problem.

this could also be a battery issue. If you first decharge the battery and charge up, try again. Other than that you need to speak to who ever you bought it from!

The Manufacturer has a habit of mixing up Radios and Planes, so you have a radio on one frequency and the plane on another. In your case it's probably best to contact your supplier but it's handy to know what frequency the plane is on just in case they need to send you another radio.

It sounds like the problem i've had. It's probably a faulty receiver. There's some pretty dodgy soldering on there.
