Been having these intermittent glitches while simming , I've tried to calibrating my controller again with no resolution of the issue. I'll be flying when all of the sudden I lose all control of the Heli I'm flying. The Heli will start doing the chicken dance. I tried cleaning the contacts of the Tx interlink cable but that didn't help. Been thinking my wired Tx interlink is taking a dump. No one sells just the interlink alone , let me know what you guys think.

It's a common thing. I had to redo the USB cable to mine like many others. Your only other option is to send it in for repair. A temporary fix it using ty-wraps to affix the cable to the handle where it works.

How do I repair it? I have the cable that lets you use your own Tx .

You have to take it apart (remove the four screws on the back) and resolder/repair the intermittent USB wire depending on where it is in the cable. The other option is replacing the cable with a new one. Any USB cable will do.
Hooking up a transmitter to the back won't do any good if the USB cable from the Interlink is going bad. A standard USB cable has four wires. Two for data and two for power. Sometimes a charging only cable doesn't use the data lines for a device.

So I resoldered the two wires that go to the transmitter , got some nice shiny ,solid looking solders now . One of The wires seemed loose before, it seems to work better but I'll get some random glitching sporadically. Dunno might have to resolder the other 5 or so wires on the USB end.
