It is a foot control. It has power and the steering (left/right)works fine. But the throttle does not. Prop only spins half a turn then stops. Does anybody live in the roanoke area with the same foot control to try and see if that is the problem? Would hate to order a new one for no reason... Thanks in advance guys

I have read this before and dont quote me because it was a while ago but....I am pretty sure the PD foot pedal has an issue under the power button tab. it doesnt push down far enough to engage the power. I am pretty sure that right, but I will search for the thread for you to make sure.

here is the fix i saw before, hope it helps....


"ok. i'm not real good at describing things is because i sent his in a pm. i'll try. now it depends if yours was doing the same thing mine was. i had to push hard on the button to get it to finally hit a spot to conect or go. i put up with it like that for a while then decided to do something even if it was wrong. i knew the pedal button wasnt' making contact easy. i popped it, the button, out of the pedal and there's a square stem on the button that sticks down and is supposed to hit the switch when pressed with your foot. that, on mine, was too short. i thought a while what i could use to make it longer and got a ball point pen and cut the ink tube that fits hard into the square hole in the stem and cut it off a little longer than the stem. put it back together and it was then too long. i kept cutting the ball point pen tube off little by little till i got it where when i stepped on the button what i thought should be normal to connect i left it like that. it has worked perfectly for over a year. hope this helps you with yours."

need the v2 powerdrive control... upon further investigating I am getting 24 volts at the control board coming in from the batteries... going out toward the head/prop I am getting 24volts when I first push the throttle then it starts dropping even as I hold it. Is this normal? or should it be 24 volts consistently as I hold the throttle? maybe its the control board
