Before any one send his TX in...

watch this  *"HOW TO" * video and make a test yourself on the TX...
They say if it passes the test... you do not have to send it...

Hi there.

I actually called Horizon Hobby yesterday.  They told me that the othe
models which were added to the recall list this week still need to b
sent in because the monitor test doesn't guarantee the radio is fre
from defects.  Apparently they are still finding problems despite wha
the tests show.  I was also told that because I live in Canada, the
can't pay for shipping from my address to theirs, but that they migh
find a way to reimburse us Canadian owners for the shipping costs.  G
figure....

Well, that explains why I had to return my brand new DX6i yesterday. Almost
no elevator response was noticed while bench testing after binding the rx.

I FINALLY am able to access this NG...

I particularly like the fake links (target="_blank") in the article.
"Click [here] to request a shipping call tag to return your DX6i to
Horizon". How many times does one need to click to finally get the tag? :)
