I got a few flights in today with the chokes and I also set the flaps and ailerons up about 2-3mm. Flew well set up that way. No issues.

Its a stretch, but something i remembered happening awhile back was with the blue box in the f22 and a ar8000 spektrum reciever. Anytime i would retract the landing gear, the rudders would stop working and intermitently move with rudder inputs until i put the landing gear down. I made a fuss about it with motion saying the blu box was defective. I happened to change a different rx and everything was fine. I never looked further into it other than maybe the pulse signals were not jiving well with the blu box and glitching both rx and bluebox.

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with my Mig-21 right now that has my rudder and nose gear steering not working. I suspect the older MCB.
Last Sunday the rudder was jittery and once stopped working momentarily, along with the nose gear steering.
On the ground when I got it home I was trying to find a loose connection between the rudder and nose gear servos and my rudder went full deflection and quit, along with the nose gear steering, this time for good. Fortunate not to have the rudder deflect like that in flight. Everything else still works. I bought a new MCB to try out as it's the only thing I can figure given the nose gear steering and rudder don't Y together, it's handled in the board.
It's always possible for electronics to just quit. They work fine, until they don't.

- 1/9 scale with 74" length and 50" wingspan.- Newest version with 30g metal gear servo for elevator. - With twin 3658-1920Kv brushless inrunner motors and 9-blade fans propel the model to 120mph.- Highest level of engineering for a modern Plug-And-Play EDF
Shipping is expensive (106 dollar for registered air parcel) but the total price would be:
686 dollar = 580 euro.
So you save 90 euro's :-)
Normally, I always order at Motion since I live practically next to the European warehouse, but when things are out of stock, I use rc-castle as an alternative. Not expensive and they ship fast.

Out of interest is it possible that many are binding and setting failsafes before adjusting the quite extreme elevator position required for level flight thus when the plane momentarily failsafes the elevator failsafes to zero trim position that unfortunately sends the plane in to the ground rather sharply.

Been contemplating trading in the X for a 3, but this particular bit has held me from it. Hmmm

Did you lose power to the motors as well?
I have a different Admiral receiver (7 ch w/stabilization) and I lost signal on that receiver 3 times in 4 flights. When that happens, the failsafe as it's set up shuts off the motor(s), unless you've changed it. When that happened to me, I got servo control back then shortly after that, power to the motors. Only took a couple of seconds each time, but they were looong seconds.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

This was a new receiver to me. After changing it out, no more issues with any model. In fact, it's the only receiver I've ever had issues with where I can pinpoint the receiver as the cause.
