  • A massive thanks to xygax

    Almost a year ago I had a crash with my 700 and part of the damage was it pulled the plug / socket off the end of the Futaba 520 gyro brand new at the time.

    Thinking this would be an easy repair I sent it to Ripmax who told me the gyro was un-repairable.

    I asked why as it was just a plug that needed replacing.... "Oh no sir we don't repair those"

    Chuck it in the bin I was told.... Useless buggers.

    I then sent it to Model Radio Workshop who kept it almost 9 months before I had to email them to get it returned again un-repaired as they didnt have a wiring diagram.

    Useless buggers.

    Last week I thought Steve (xygax) might want to have a play around and see what he could make of it, I actually told him if he could repair it then keep it for his own use, If he couldnt repair it then bin it.

    Sent it last Thursday and got it back fully repaired on Monday this week free of charge.

    Mate you are one great bloke and I thank you very much.

    When we next meet I owe you.

    Another top bloke who deserves praise.

    Good post Tim, and I echo your sentiments.

    Steve repaired my nearly new battery charger about 18 months ago after some numpty (!) shorted out a LiPo across it and the computer said 'no'.

    I sent it down to Bristol in the post and he hand delivered it 3 days later as he was passing near where I live for his work - only about 200 miles from his home!

          I'd like to echo all the comments and praise for Steve(xygax)

          He fixed 2 cellpro 4S for me for no charge a couple of years ago and I've since found out that his electronic skills are "advanced"

          A great member of the heli community!
