FMS glitch

[rc88man]

I am running a Gateway Pentium 4, 32MB NVIDIA GeForce MX Graphics Accelerator, 128 MB memory, using Fut FG series TX. When flying helicopters I get a very abrupt nose down pitch, or an abrupt roll. At times just setting on the runway it will roll and rotor strike, or go up on its nose. Can anyone suggest how to cure this? It seems like an electrical spike or ?. Thanks for any help. I appreciate it. I am running Windows ME.

That's a very detailed equipment list, thanks. Unfortunately the critical thing you haven't mentioned is what type of interface you are using and where you got it from. E.g. parallel, serial, PIC, joystick, Smartpropo etc. They're all different.

Thanks for the return, Steve. I am using parallel port . I got interface and disk from Virtual RC Flight. I got item on E-Bay. Terry

Sorry can't really help. I gave up on parallel port i/fs years ago, I found the serial or PIC ones much steadier and more reliable. The parallel port i/f is often particularly bad with a low output from the Tx so check your battery is fully charged.

Perhaps post your question in the Parallelport PPM Interface forum, that's what it's there for.
