[TowerTalk] Need help with Tailtwister

[John Simmons]

Bob,

The first thing I would do is perform tests described in the manual. You 
will check the control box voltages on the rotor wiring and the 
resistance of the rotor from the ground. Documentation is your friend! 
If you don't have a manual you can download the manual from MFJ or find 
it lots of places on the web.
