I have a USB cable that calls itself RC Flight Link . I downloaded ClearView and I paid 3.99 for a Helicopter.

I plugged the cable into my TX and then into the computer and went into Control Panel and it says RC Flight Link Controller OK. I go into setting and do a calibration and it seemed to work and I fired up ClearView and set the channels to the functions and I was able to fly the Simulator . Problem is sometimes the controls jump around randomly as if the signals are all over the place , it goes away and Im able to fly again .

Today I tried again , plugged RC Flight link into controller and fired up Clearview but the signal in the callibrate screen on clearview are all messed up jumping around randomly totally uncontrollable. I exit out and go into control panel and it says RC Flight Link OK , I ran through callibration in Control Panel and then again in Clearview to no avail . Control channels indicate that they are really unstable and jumping all over , and not centered or anything . Help please .

What is the controller ?

Hi the controller is a JR 6102, it does the same thing with my Spektrum DX7. I think the Ive found the problem . I was messing around with the program and the everything last night . Seems I get about a 85% improvement in controller stability when I have the wireless mouse unplugged . I guess its causing interference . Its still not perfect but its at least useable . The input still jump around a tiny bit and the damn plug wont stay plugged into the controller and pops out sometimes which screws everything up.

OK just to wrap this up I have found the problem and I was simulating just fine last night and this morning . First off I have to say that this RC Flight Link has nit worked properly since day 1. I figured there may be something wrong with the 3.5 mm jack that goes into the controller so a took a hobby knife and I cut away all the outside insulation to reveal the two wire leads and the 3.5mm connector . The solder joints were grey and dull and quite clearly shitty as shitty can be . The rework that was done was garbage so I got out my soldering iron and I did a professional job of it . Finished it off with some black heat shrink tubing . The cable works fine now , I just do the calibration and it works without jumping all over .
