My tiger fires continually. The up/down movement is a bit jerky too. Any ideas?

Hi. Not sure which gun it has fitted. Am new to this so bit of a novice. How can I check to see if the micro switch is opening?

have you split the upper/ lower hull?
if not do so.
then look up the hole in the turret gear.
if there is a rounded plastic bit poking through, it is a normal unit.
if it's a white oblong shape that's tucked up inside it's the taigen recoil unit.
right, if you have the former.
on one of the sides will be a small micro switchwith 2 wires that should run to pins 4 & 5 on cn3 (mg fire)
oh, assuming you have an rx 18 :{
proberbly best if you split the the hull & take a couple of photos of it

Image
the white bit inside the turret gear is the airsoft unit.
Image
the red & black wires at the back of the airsoft unit is the microswitch.
don't bother looking where it's plugged in though because this one is in a clark board.
hope that helps

Make sure the 8 pin connector is plugged into the receptacle correctly, it can be installed backwards.
