Hi all, Just looking to see if anyone else has had this problem and can offer what to try next?
I brief background as follows:
Was getting a rudder twitch. and loss of control.
Changed the batteries, as was told at a regatta, maybe have a bad cell
changed the rudder servo
changed the receiver
changed the receiver location and antenna
changed the transmitter
changed the crystals.
checked the wire diagram as stated on page 8 of RMG manual
This weekend set the hull on the work bench and was ok, went to the Lake Sunday, got ready, hull in stand, batteries in and switch on, all was ok, until I went to the sail box. Once I touched the rig/sails and went near the boat, not touching the hull, just within a few feet the twitch would start. even had someone else hold the rig, to see if I was giving off a electric charge, or bad vibes.
Any help or advice you have would be helpful.
Radio near or far from boat, no difference.
Earl
