| Well at least we are eliminating things!!
I think we need to think outside the box a bit more now and I am certain that the next step isto try a differrent transmitter. I know it seems OK on the bench but not in the water but the water itself can play a part in the signal quality.
I have only recently been playing with a very cheap foam Cessna as a trainer without much success so far. Another story. One problem was a very erratic operation of the eirlerons which I couldn't resolve. We do tend to think of the radio transmitter as a solid state device that goes on forever but, of course the electro-mechanical transducer is a potentiometer on the end of the stick and these can fail. The Cessna one responded to a squirt of WD40 into the Pot, after taking the set apart, and working the stick for 5-10 minutes.
I would try the boat next with a differrent transmitter and see what happens. |
