[NSRCA-discussion] Trim Change

[Tony]

Trim change with dual rates in not necessarily a bad pot.  It could be a
good pot that has slipped.  This is very common.  Futaba even went to metal
straps to help stop this.  Pots that are bad usually have dirty control, or
a tight shaft.

In your case it sounds like the leaking fuel is the culprit.

Having said that, one of the key diagnostics for bad pots in Futaba
transmitters is a trim or centering change when changing conditions or
switching dual rates. This assumes that you are not programmed to allow
different trims in different conditions.

It really is a good idea to send your radio in once a year, or no more than
every couple of years. I see so many posts of problems that start with "My
radio has performed flawlessly for 8 years now..." Then you find out that
the thing has never once been serviced. Not servicing the radio is like
driving without ever changing your oil. Neither is a good idea.
