Stu,
        Make sure that the carbon brush against the ring is true and the
ring is clean.  Also do you have the version   (I think ) 1.1?   I have
the CAP 140 and I ran it by itself off the a/c.  I used clips to hook to
the studs with a small lawn tractor battery that I had laying around. 
That way I could set it up and check the blade angles.  However with the
new software version, this can be done with a lot less actions than the
first way.   You know, setting the pot and all that nonsense.  I am
planing to run the electronics to set the pitch and then shut it off
during in flight.  I put a circuit breaker close by so I could do that if
I want.

Doing my initial flying with a ground adjustable and then putting on the
electric prop.
