Hi everyone!! Nice to be here. I like the name RC Help. That really caught my eye because I'm always in need of help. I've been away from RC for many years and just got back in with the purchase of an Eflite Timber X 1.2, (against the advice of the hobby shop salesman. He was probably right, should have bought the Apprentice or Carbon Cub.) My only experience is with my old HZ Super Cub 3 channel.
I purchased a RadioLink AT9S TX and RCVR for the Timber X. Again, I probably should have bought a RTF Timber X with the Spektrum TX and RCV. On my 1st try, I had a crash on take off and quickly came to the conclusion that I needed lots of practice.
I dusted off my old Super Cub and found that everything worked!!! After a few successful practice flights, I had a problem. I didn't back off the throttle soon enough after a premature landing in very tall grass that wrapped up the prop and stalled the motor. The motor was very hot and had a burnt smell. After that all controls failed to work. No motor, rudder or elevator. I therefore came to the conclusion that I had fried the RCVR.
I decided to buy another RadioLink RCVR to use in the Cub as it is much cheaper that a new Cub RCVR. The only problem is that the connections from the motor to the RCVR do not match with the RCVR.
My questions are, Do you think my diagnosis is correct re: the RCVR and if so what would you suggest to connect to the RadioLink RCVR?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
