RD8000 - Throttle Cut Off Problem

[jed241 at msn.com]

Steve,

You nailed it...The manual mentions "Flap Stick (Throttle)" for use with Sailplanes. I didn't see anything on how this should have affected the throttle kill switch. Spoilers would need to be setup by using the Flap function and either negative or positive settings to add spoiler input when selected...

See ya,

Larry

  Larry,...

  If I recall correctly I had a similar problem on my RD6000.  I ended up diagnosing the problem myself and this is what I came up with:

  I assume you are using a servo for each aileron, and that you are mixing the control for channel 2 (standard aileron receiver port) with channel 6 (auxiliary aileron receiver port).  You are probably asking yourself what do the aileron channels have to do with the throttle operation, bare with me I'm getting to that, ha!!

  There are two ways to activate the channel 2 to channel 6 mixing either by activating the Flaperon function or activating the Spoileron function.  Either of these methods will give you the desired aileron channel mixing; however the spoileron function will give you a very screwed up throttle stick!!

  Anyway, this is what I found to be the case in my RD6000 they may have "fixed" or changed things for the RD8000.  In any case if you are already using the Flaperon function and things are still messed up on the throttle stick then I am of no use to you and I appologize for the babbling.

  Once again, that's basically what I can remember from my experiences over a year ago.  Details are a bit fuzzy but if any of this can help or point you in the right direction then I'm grateful.
