I lost the directional indication on my T2X, brought it down, and found the
wiper arm had worn down and dropped off of the rheostat windings. Being
thrifty, I soldered a short piece of #8 wire to the end of the wiper arm,
filed it down on top the clear the upper stop, and checked it with the
controller. The directional indication works when I rotate the arm manually,
but the arm does not turn with the rotor motor on. Any suggestions on what
do do next, besides send it out for repair?
