Hi Bobby,

Will all my machines are doing it the only thing they have in common is the TX

[WillJames]

Man that is a bummer! Never heard of that before, but I have seen some do some other weird stuff.

I have heard of a few folks having issues with the pots in the TX and had to send them back for repair. The symptoms were similar but on other channels which would be the case depending on which pot was having the issue.

A friend of mine had the issue and got the radio back with the same problem. He had to tell them SPECIFICALLY what was happening and to what channel and asked them to please check the pots. 2nd time back it was fixed so be sure to STRESS this as a possible problem.

You shouldn't expect too much out of an inexpensive TX. Perhaps you need to upgrade. :mrgreen:

I have had the exact same symptom/problem with my 14MZ for a while. Only difference is that it is on the elevator.

It is most certainly the potmeter because I was able to recall the fault on ground once. The elevators would jitter with slight touches on elevator stick (both elevators synchronous on a delta-wing).

Seems like there may be a quality issue with the pots in the 14MZ
