[NSRCA-discussion] interference

[jfgreen]

Dennis:  I think you are right.  I have pretty well isolated it to a
battery-connection failure.  The connectors were tight w /parsons keepers
and I was using a Jaccio fail safe switch.  The battery was two years old
and showing some capacity deficit.  It was very probably a combination of an
old battery and denial on my part.  You know, that “gotta get there” stuff
when the weather is marginal, and “aw It will go one more flight.”  If so,
made a bad bet, a 3K airplane isn’t worth a 30.00 battery.  I don’t do that
kind of crap in my commercial flying, don’t know why I did w/ my Oly.  DUMB!

Jerry,

As you know I have flown a couple of Olympians and before that a Python. I
have always used steel pull-pull cables on everything and have never had a
problem. I always run the antenna along the bottom of the fuselage inside a
tube. I agree that it has to be an electrical problem and not a signal
problem. You have my number.

 

Dennis

OUCH!

 

Well, assuming you had your failsafe set to kill throttle it sounds like
you're probably correct that you had a power failure of some sort on the RX
side.

 

Sorry to hear that.

Keith,  No need to have used a hammer on that RX it was obliterated when I
scooped the two garbage bags full of debris.  I immediately sent the JR 10X
to Tony and ordered a dual conversion RX w/ full explanation of the event.
Jaccio switch, parsons clips and a two year old Duralite battery.  Not
glitch before the crash.  It acted like a battery died.  Went into first
loop of Cuban eight.  Loop opened up (blowback) slow rolled over and dove
in.  No control on sticks, throttle stayed where it was at beginning of
maneuver.  THX Jerry

Jerry,

 

I've personally had no problem with steel pull-pull cables, however, I've
also been careful to keep the antenna away from the pull-pull cables by
several inches.

 

Do you understand what occurred with your last incident?  I've heard of
people losing  their replacement plane because they didn't realize they had
either a bad TX or bad RX and they used them in the replacement plane.
Therefore, if I were you I'd focus on making 100% SURE that none of the
components used before (that you plan to use again, including TX) are
faulty. 

 

I'm not quite this hard core, but Earl Haury once told me that when he has a
crash he takes the RX home and introduces it to his hammer. This would
certainly prevent any problems with the RX (either causing the crash or
caused by the crash) from downing any future planes.

In an effort to avoid turning my new pattern ship into a dirt seeking comet
similar to my last Oly, I’ve been researching some possible causes,  I
recently read from one source that one would or could have interference
problems if when using steel pull-pull cables and installing the antenna
parallel to them inside the fuse.  I have seen a number of AC at contests
w/this configuration that seem to have no interference problems.  Your
experience, thoughts please.  THX - Jerry
