Broken rudder trim on DX6i, advice pls.

[inpar]

Hi,

Whilst flying with my DX6i this morning I needed a couple of clicks of left rudder trim... one click fine... then nothing... no clicking... right trim is ok.

As it's still in warranty I took it back to the shop to be told the fact I'd had it for several months it would have to go back to the manufacturer, not too much frustration then ! 2 helis charged and ready to go and no tx for god knows how long.

My question is this, is the fix an easy one to do myself, or would I be better leaving it alone for quarantee/warranty reasons ?

Sorry I don't seem to know how to do links. The thread is in the same forum on page 2 (6/12/2008)

As a quick fix you can swop over rudder with another trim you don't use so often. I was so impressed with horizons response I bought a dx7.
