Is it like the same response if you switch on heli first(by mistake) then radio the sevos all go mental

dazjohn

if i switch on the heli first they dont move ,its when i switch on the radio it happens plus if i walk more than 10 feet away the servos dont respond to the radio commands

I would try another reciever or crystals first myself

dazjohn

yes so long as the one in the transmitter is the same as the one in heli
ie-35mhz channel 69 or whatever the number you have

Also bear in mind whether or not the recveiver is dual conversion. If it is you will need a rx dual conversion crystal (Orange tab if memory serves me correctly).

Check for a break in the RX areil (especially around about cable ties or sharp directions in ariel change)

Good luck!
