Hi all
I have a JR9303, a few months old.
The thottle stick has a slight "slip/stick" feel to it. How do I make it silky smooth. I could slip a drop of oil between the sliding bits, or disassemble it and grease it with grease or graphite. Any suggestions.

I would take the back off the radio and work on the mechanism that holds pressure against the movement of the stick. Usually this is all it takes. I do not think the bearings support the stick are the problem. It also may be there is some dirt or grit causing the problem.

Just opened up the back of the TX.
There is no friction adjuster on the throttle ...........
There are adjusters on ail/elv/rudd but not the throttle.
THe screw is there, but nothing attached to it lik on the other adjusters.
I have sent an email off to Horizon to see if this is a auality contol issue , or that is just the way the heli model TX is set up.
Seem odd to me. :dontknow
