[TowerTalk] T2X ROTOR Plug/socket

[Pete Smith]

Dunno about this specific issue, but when I have problems with flakey Jones plugs at my shack bulkhead, I find that a little application of CAIG Labs Progold or R5 works wonders.  I'm pretty sure they are sold in the UK - a little goes a long way.

>Silly question, but I wonder if anyone can help. On one of my T2X rotors the in-line 8 pin AMP plug/socket on the flying lead from the rotor housing has somehow got water into it. This has caused a slight bit of corrosion/electrolytic action on the pins/sockets. The result is that the direction indicator is jumping about occasionally.
