<DIV><FONT size=2>my solution to the covering was to apply some thinned
balsarite to the back of the loose covering then iron it back down. Then I
applied a little thinned dope (good old butyrate dope) to the edges of the trim
that hadn't come off.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Any of the blue that I missed... has peeled.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Be sure you get the blue strips on the top of the wing
secured. I had one that came loose except at wing root and wingtip...
might as well have deployed a spoiler on just that wing. The only thing
that worked for keeping the plane out of the trees was holding it JUST above
stall speed at medium power. (high alpha slow flight) took me
several seconds to get a hanle on it. I was SURE I had an aileron stuck at
full travel from how the plane responded.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Fred,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Were you able to arrive at a solution for the
covering coming loose on your Quest???????? I am experiencing the same
problem. Would really like to know a good fix.</FONT></DIV>

glitches (was Lost Abbra)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm currently chasing a RX problem which nearly cost me
the plane.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many flights with no radio problems. (had a couple
of instances of covering comming lose on the ARF....)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Goofe up and caused a servo to over-travel stripping a
gear, so I replaced the servo. 3 flights after that with no radio
issues. Then I stuck in an RX volt-watch device. 2 more flights
no problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Got to flying it around the last time it was in the air
and the plane started glitching, so I landed. When the plane stopped
at the end of the runway (less than 75% of my normal antenna down range
check distance) controls went absolutely nuts, including throttle. (which is
really strange because its an electric model)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When the glitching occurs, it pulls the volt-watch meter
down to the lowest indicating light.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The plene:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Quest 3D G2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>AXi 4120/18 using Jeti 70 amp ESC</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hitech Supreme 8 RX</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>4 Blue Bird 621 servos (90 in oz)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2700 mah 4-cell NiCd RX battery (ESC has no BEC
function)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2 X 3s 3600 mah LiPo for 6s power (appx 11 to 12 min
of Sportsman level Pattern per charge)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Polks Tracker-III TX</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've swapped out every servo (I have 4
spares)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I swapped to a Futaba 127 DF RX and to a Polks Seeker-II
and a Seeker 6</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Changed the switch harness to an MPI heavy duty with volt
indicator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Changed to a 900 mah 4-cell NiCd for the RX</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Tested with and without the volt-watch</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Only had one good range check since the problems started
with an RX anywhere near the airplane, that was with just the motor and the
rudder servo plugged in. (original RX)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Wierd part... the whole radio system works fine if I pull
it out of the plane and lay it on the ground similar to how its laid out in
the plane., including the long servo extensions for ailerons and
elevator an the motor system. (put it back and the glitching is back)
This is repeatable with any combination of the servos I have.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The other RX's tested all work in the planes they are
normally used for.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>TX operates all other planes I have with no issues. (I
only use 2 frequencies even though I have a few synth RX's and the TX is
synthesized)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Current antenna down range check is 50% of my norm, so I
don't dare fly it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've been thinking of putting together "glitch busters" (
<A href="">http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/gadgets/gadgets.htm</A> ) for
use on the long lead channels, but can't see why I should need them if the
system worked for appx 3 months without them. I have had a plane with
exgensions that added up to right at 1 meter where the devoces cured
problems , but those existed from first time the radio was plugged
together.</FONT></DIV>
