there are three causes to my knoledge

1. some one else close by with same frequence
2. dodgy RX in the bird
3. the servos are set at the top end of there movement and don't like it

If you turn off the radio, release the arm on the servo...which should stop moving and replace the arm.

If this dosn't help it's one of the pricier items Im affraid!

Use fresh batts in your transmitter too!

Hi the chaps on wattflyer recon:

A: thats the rudder servo, its a digital servo. not the receiver

Q? is it normal

A: i've never heard a trojan that doesnt do it. on 72mhz or 2.4 they all do it.

Are you talking chattering where the servos move on their own or a high pitch whine sound? first of all you should never turn of the transmitter while the model is still powered up, this will cause the servos to move on their own, the motor could start up and cause serious injury. Don't do it.

The T28 uses a Digital servo for the Rudder and sometimes the Elevator, Digital servos run at a higher frequency which is why you can hear a high pitch sound. It's not the Receiver making this sound, it's the Digital Servo. It's not a problem it's just how digital servos work.

Hi, thanks if you all hear some sort of electronic noise then it must be normal. Point noted on Transmiter 1st then connect battery on plane.

Regards

Ok 1st flight was ok. Too much wind for 1st flight :eek: but managed to fly for 8 min. Take off was easy and landed nicely due to the wind. Pretty fast plane so kept the speed low as I could. :)

You should try it with an Eflite Power 10 motor and APC 10x7 lol :D

:rolleyes:one day I hope.

Ok second flight went well keep a bit higher less wind and at about 8min battery went dead. Emergency landing no problem thanks to SIM pratice.

Nice plane and smooth:D

Lipo seems to takes ages to charge 1 hour 15 min so far set at 1.5. Will adjust next run

Happy flying
