Hawk Pro Controls Problem

[skeena16]

I haven't used my Hawk for a few years but I took it out today and when checking it over found that the controls were acting strange. The collective is moving up and down when I move the cyclic left and right. Moving the collective stick only moves one blade a little bit. I have a Spectrum DX 7 with an AR7000 receiver. Everything is plugged into the correct slots in the receiver. They have been for years and I haven't changed anything. I am suspecting the receiver. Has anyone else ever had this type of failure mode?

Welcome, Skeena16.

As soon as I saw your screen name, I knew you were from my neck of the woods.
I lived in Kitimat for a time.

I've since moved down south to the lower mainland, but good to see some guys from up there
