[squeaky pete]

just took my canopy off the 600 to charge up the rx batt after a mammoth 5hours up the feild on satday, and my rx (ar7000) top case was gone!!!!!!!!!! along with the 2 tiny antenners!!!! i did think i saw something in the morning come of, but thort it was crap blowing up from the floor!!!!!

its just the bottom case stuck to the heli and a circuit board!! lol!!! just powered her up and it all works, but i aint using it, but shit!!!! a hole day with a busted up rx!!!!

I give a good ole once over but not one for 2nd round of checks, but i must of noticed to much play or some thing the other day, as it was nagging in my mind did a 2nd load of checks to find a link not connect on the swash. very parniod about the 450 at mo seem to check it all at lest 4 times at mo lol

anyways glade to see you spotted the problem as who knows what the range would be like. replacing the TX seems small compared to most of the heli or worse!

[squeaky pete]

you know!!!! it must of bin like that for the hole day!!!! but then again, it shows how good they really are

Just goes to show how important pre-flight checks are! I also give them a quick check over while wiping them down after each flight.

Get it sent to horizon hobby and they will repair it foc and get it back to you asap
