    You're right . . . . they were smooth . . . . for about 30 seconds. It was an interesting experiment, but I will replace the jumper wire, order a new receiver and build a v-tail bird to use it in. Thanks for your interest and input!

    Extremely wierd was my reaction as well. I'd say "flames are a bad sign" is an understatement! I'll take some photos of the remains. There are no identifiers visible on the two IC that flamed, and I removed most of the solder from the area in an attempt to trace connections . . . I don't...

    The latest word on the E-Flight transmitter. I removed the jumper on Way5 and voila!, the coupling was removed. Everything looked good. Then I connected the motor to the receiver/ESC,, throttled up and the rcv'r was instantly fried !! Two small ICs, which appear to be SO-8 packages actually...

    I initially thought perhaps that would be worth a try, but decided to wait for a response from someone who knows much more than I. As you say, restoring the jumper is quite simple . . . . so I'll give it a go. Thanks for you input!

    I don't have a problem with removing the IC. Of course you are correct in that it would be easier to buy another transmitter, however, I would be interested in modifying this unit just for the fun of it and perhaps I could learn a bit more about micro controllers in the process. Or I could...

    Sorry for the long delay. This is the board component side A and side B, plus a close-up of the PW side. The pitch, yaw and throttle connections are located to the lower left area of the board. The two servo reversing switches are near the center. I should think the servo coupling is...

    The transmitteris a FlyZone 3-channel. It does have two switches in the front of the case with a label which says "switches must be in down position". I have tried the system with both switches up, one up & one down and vece-versa. Servo movemeny remains coupled. There are no additional...

    Modify transmitter

    I have aquired a 3 channel RTF (Red Hawk) airplane which has a V-tail, and therefore, built in mixing of rudder and elevator functions. I would like to undo the mixing and use the transmitter for standard three channel operation. The control stick and throttle pots are connected to an...
