ARRG!! problem with G3 controller...please help

[blue_collar2]

I have the realflight g3, upgraded to g3.5.

Things were working fine both with the controller and the pass through with a JR9303. Until today...

Now the controller works fine for all channels except the elevator. It's stuck in neutral position. Channel mapping shows 100% and won't move, I can't calibrate channels because thee is no changes for the elevator during the range step.

I now can not get the pass through to work either. The radio turns on (and yes, it's set to ppm...same model that had worked earlier) but the "select controller" function only shows the "1. interlink contoller" and not the transmitter. Only the amber light (steady) is on, not the green as before. I've cleaned all the connectors.

With these two problems, I can't use the sim at all (the model moves with interlink controller inputs but doesn't fly long without elevator control).

Please share any thoughts...Do I need to attempt surgery on the controller? I can't find the receipts any more (of course) but I do have the original disks and addons.

Any thoughts appreciated. :arggg:

Open it up and check that the pots are connected.

The interlink controller is a real cheap POS, it's all pop together stuff (like those old $2 plastic airplane models.)

I was at a friends and his had the same problem. Opened it up the pot had fallen off the side of the gimbal.
