Replacing elevator pot in Futaba WC2 transmitter

[William C. Harden]

A procedure you can use to know when the elevator pot is calibrated
(centered):  

With the elevator trim and subtim exactly at zero (and no mixing where the
elevator channel is the slave) and the elevator stick position is in the
center, then when the reverse switch is changed in position the servo arm
does not move.  

Good luck.

Subject: Replacing elevator pot in Futaba WC2 transmitter



I have a need to replace the elevator pot in my Futaba WC2 transmitter.

Has anyone done this at home and do you need any special tools to complete
the task?

I am an electronics tech some I am comfortable working with this style of
equipment but I don't want to start something I may not be able to finish.

I would get someone like Tony Stillman from Radio South if I lived in the
state but in Aus we are not so fortunate to have access to his level of
service.

Someone mentioned I need to calibrate the gimbals to the new pot. What is
involved / required to make this happen?

Does anyone have any part numbers for the pot?

Any assistance would be much appreciated. As I only own one transmitter I am
grounded until it is fixed.

Thanks guys

Peter
