Re: [RCSE] Futaba 8UAF Sudden Death Syndrome

My friend had a problem with his 8UAF crashed an expensive scale glider because of it. The repairman told him that the pins that connect to the RF module came unsoldered from the circuit board inside the radio. Said it is a common problem. Resoldering the pins fixed the radio. Symptoms

RE: [RCSE] Futaba 8UAF Sudden Death Syndrome

The RF pin problem occurred with the first 8Uxx production runs. The later runs and the new 8UxxS have incorporated a fix that includes epoxy reinforcement of the pin to circuit board connection. If you are using an older 8U that has not had this fixed you should do it now before it starts

Re: [RCSE] Battery connector problem, Futaba 8U Transmitter

Happened in my x347 also. This is a common problem for any unit where you frequently connect and disconnect this type of connector. As designed and installed these connectors are made to be put together and left for a long time. For things that are put together and taken apart frequently you

Has anyone had any experience using Mylar thinner than .014"? I would like to try using the thinner material in an attempt to better conform to tips and leading edges. The next two stock sizes seem to be 0.010" and 0.0075". I thought I might start with the 0.010". Any input would be greatly

Re: [RCSE] Battery connector problem, Futaba 8U Transmitter

In retrospect, the problem arose because I took the battery out of the transmitter for charging I would highly recommend taking the battery out for charging. My 8uaf had a total battery meltdown while charging and it melted the case. It also erased the memory from the op system of the radio.
