How to clean the transmitter pots ??

I wonder how to clean the pots of the Futaba T6EX 2.4 GHz ??

Thank you

Hi Khaled,

I'd bet it's not worth removing the TX pots (potentiometers) and then try to take them apart to clean, rather then replacing them. It depends on the type of pot, but many are assembled in a way that makes it difficult (impossible) to service. Another problem is that after installing the pots, the sticks will need calibration. Maybe someone else knows how it's done on this radio (probably a hidden menu).

Just in case this might help, a good way to test if it is really bad pots on the sticks is to use the "servo test" function (hopefully it has this feature). Assuming the servos will glitch on the bench as you move the sticks, also try the transmitters "servo test". If the servos still glitch using the transmitters internal servo test, it's not from the pots, since the "servo test" bypasses the pots for the sticks as it automatically moves the servos.

I have a Futaba T6EX 2.4 GHz and I really can't determine if the issue I will tell you about did exist from the first time I used it or it just happened recently

here are the symptoms ... when I move the throttle stick all the way up to get full throttle the throttle start to increase and almost reached full throttle before the stick reaches the maximum deflection and then the throttle starts to decrease till half throttle when the throttle stick is at maximum deflection

I can see that by showing the channels in the reflex simulator and I also can see it clearly when I fly any helicopter model it just starts to fly then when I hit throttle stick to full up it just brick down to half throttle ...

I really can use some help ...what could be the reason other than a bad or dirty pot ??

Thank you

Khaled
