[NSRCA-discussion] JR DSM glitch - trouble-shooting.

[Troy Newman]

If your throttle servo is moving up to a mid point when powering up then
your failsafe is not set properly....Re-bind it.
 
Bind with the throttle at idle or kill positions.

I noticed that when I powered down and up the Rx the throttle servo
moves to a near mid point position and immediately returns to wherever
the throttle is set. It (9303) always did that. So I think the Rx lost
power and on it's return the throttle servo did it's usual thing and
rev'd the engine. It also didnt respond from idle so maybe it is
stalling.
 
I'll replace the servo and battery. I also noticed that the heat shrink
on the regulator was discoloured and torn so I think I'll replace it as
well.

	I don't believe a bad battery could cause the engine to rev up
unless your battery failsafe isn't set properly.  Make sure it is.   

	The first thing I would look at is the possibility that the
throttle servo is stalled at low speed.  That could be pulling the
battery/voltage regulator voltage down and it could recover after you
started to throttle up and removed the heavy load.  

	Finally I would run a one amp discharge test on the battery
after it is fully charged to see if the battery is near its original
capacity.  The best way to do this is to plot the voltage vs. time
taking readings every 5 to 10 minutes.

	Hope this helps.  Let us know what you find.

	Jim

I had a close call today with my R921 Rx in an Integral.
 
I noticed on taxi out that the engine rev'd up and quickly back down
without any command. At first I thought I must have bumped the stick by
accident. Then just before take-off there was no responce from the
throttle for a second or two then it was back. I thought the 170 may
have loaded up a little and didnt respond. It did that one more time
before I aborted the flight. However, I could'nt reproduce the problem
in the pits.
 
Before powering down, I checked for holds or fades on the data logger -
nil.
 
Battery voltage droped from 8.2V to 7.8V and 7.6 under 1A load. When I
re-charged it took 350mA and I was only on for 3-4 mins.
 
Now...I did accidentally run the battery down to like 5V during winter
but it did eventually recharge.
 
I'm using a Jaccio perfect switch/6V regulator, Jaccio 2000mAHr (1
season
