I believe I have one of these, I actually think ive put two of them on for more tension. Are those springs that go onto the metal rod that connects the carb and the throttle servo?
And I agree with you on the runways caused by batteries not radio glitches, I was thinking about that the other day, the failsafes are kind of useless if they dont have power going to them, which seems to be my problem. They should store like 10 seconds worth of power inside of them just in case the battery goes off, the failsafe stops the throttle, then it runs outta juice and dies. Only makes sense...
