Yes. Maiden! Maiden! Maiden! Maiden!

The only thing that might cause some interference is the close proximity of the BattShare to the Rx antennas. You might try and move the Rx back a couple of inches. Can't see where your satellite for the Rx is but you want the satellite antenna 90 degrees in relation to the main antenna.

One thing I noticed was the AR7000 DSM2. I fly spektrum, so I'm not radio bashing or intending to start any wars. But consider upgrading that receiver to DSMX if you have a DSMX radio. The DSM2 can lock out in very rare circumstances, and I've not had my old ones do that, but on this plane (of which I own too) I'd do the X for peace of mind. Just because I tend to fly this model in big spaces. I have DSM2 on smaller planes like the 51 slick, buck huck, & foamies. Never had a lockout.

Here's a great review using a spectrum analyzer to show the TX broadcast patterns of the 2 and the X, definitely worth checking out:

I don't think they were really connection issues cuz I was standing next to my plane and got hardly any engine response, but my throttle servo was still moving. So i think the throttle butterfly is loose.
And here's some pix, I moved my batshare just in case that was interfering.

Wow, that's crazy that it was a mechanical issue after everyone kept thinking that it might be an electrical issue. I'm interested to hear what you find when it's all fixed.

Glad to hear you've (hopefully) solved the problem!

 

[RC Girl]

Nope, I lied. The butterfly's nice and tight. Ugh! I took the engine off for nothing..well I guess now I know that's not the problem.

Pushrod.

 

[RC Girl]

Pushrod.

What?

I think he means check your throttle pushrod/linkage for problems.
