What contributes to glitching?(Needs Help! T.T)

[flyingfrenzy]

Hi guys. I've got a problem. My aircraft keeps on glitching whenever its in flight(after sometime). At first I thought there is a lot of glitches in the field(Jln Bahar) but when I go to another nearby field near my house, the glitching problem is still there. Already changed receivers to new ones. And my rx wire isnt touching any carbon rod. Whats the problem? Can anyone help? Is there something wrong with my tx? My tx antenna a little but bent also. But the bent aint that obvious. I'm using 35.080, Hitec Optic 6. Needs help badly...

Regards

Faisal

Try doing a range check on ground 1st

[flyingfrenzy]

Ok bro will try. Thanks

Forget to add on. I will have zero control of my plane at times after the glitch and it'll just come crashing down. But when its on the ground, everything was alright and functioning properly.

What rx are you using? My personal experience. I used to fly on a Futaba 6EXA (72mhz) but used non futaba rx that are "compatible" and yes they do fine but they suffer from unknown glitches, until I gave up and I changed to Spektrum Dx6i.

I am not saying the Dx6i is the best, but thereafter no more glitches.

hey

try changing ur rx

i had the same problem too
my filton extra 260 came down because of tat
i was using a electron 6 when it happened
changed receiver and the problem was gone
u can try changing ur crystal
might have gotten damaged after some period of usage


can call me if u still got prob

Dragon Slayer, I'm now considering to change to Spektrum Dx6i. I want to do F3A Stunts also scared. Hahs

I've already changed my rx. And my rx'tal is still new. So I think this two components are out of the problem. Heh

Oh btw, I'm using a Hitec rx.

I came across a particular Hitex RX, not sure about the rest, that it'll receive radio signals beyond the 10 kHz spacing with the adjacent frequency. Most other brands' rx will to safe to be use simultaneuosly without any problem as long as the frequencies are 10 kHz apart.

But it is not very true for the Hitec Electron Rx. My frequency was 10kHz apart from another fellow user, but everytime I powered up my Tx, his model glitches like mad. Mine is JR and is perfectly fine when he powered up his Hitex Tx with 10 kHz apart.

This issue aside, make sure you do range check on ground, both with and without power. Placing the RX too close to cables carrying high current electricity will generate interferences.

Joe Yap,

Thanks I think I solved the problem. I went for night flying for a while just now this time using the same rx and rx tal. I think the problem is solved because for my ifo, my rx is far from the wires and flying was okay. I THINK PROBLEM SOLVED. Tmr try one more round see whether history repeats itself.

Thanks bro

Sounds like good news. Remember, the wires or cables that runs from the battery pack, ESC and all the way to the motor, carries the most electrical currents throughout the entire airframe, and you definitely want to avoid placing the Rx and it's antenna anywhere near them.

Flying wings with pusher motor/prop assy always have difficulties in finding a good place to mount the RX and it's antenna. For my flying wing, I made a cavity in the wing offsetting the centreline of the airframe to hide my RX, in order to 'siam' the wires.

Thanks for the tips bro =) Appreciate it.

Have you checked your Tx for corrosion. I had a 9 channel Tx which was found to have serious corrosion problems despite being newer than my older Tx (same model). The only difference was that the newer set (the corroded one) was made in China whereas the older was was made in Japan. As far as I know, my older Tx (the one made in Japan) is still working to this day in the hands of another pilot ie. I sold it. The newer 9 channel had been condemned to the rubbish chute so that it won't cost me any more planes.

Hi Tony,

How and where do I check whether my TX is suffering from corrosion?
