  • Futaba 6EXH Stick centering broke

    After the elated feeling of getting hovering noise in on phoenix the feeling didn't last long as 5 min's later the aileron stick clicked and now doesn't centre....

    I have taken the back off the TX just to make sure it wasn't just the spring that had come off but it is the post that the sea saw pivots on had broken off.

    The transmitter is a couple of years old and not in tip top condition but I have a FF4 tx and a 6EX do I.

    1, Flog the lot and upgrade to a FF7 2.4 but this would take a month or so to save and thus down time?

    2, it would be possible to drill out the broken post and glue in a metal post?

    3, Take the stick cage from the ff4 as i need the 6EX to fly the planks?

    But I am worried that if it can break once can it break again I was glad I was on phoenix.....

    I would bin it and get a T7C (FF7 2.4) - and it has sub-trim on all channels so setting up the swash is easier.

      No I thought I was going mad the other day looking for the others on th 6exh...

      So my next question is how much is a 6EX worth with tx and rx battery dual conversion 8 channel rx and 4x 148 servos
      + 1024 PCM 6 channel RX
      + standard 6 channel RX

      This is not the heli version as that is the one that is broken.....
