[RCSE] Dead JR 610rx

2005-01-30 Thread kharig
Has anyone seen a JR 610 rx just die? Its only got a couple of hours of flight time on it, no burn marks anywhere on the PCBs, tried swapping crystals, etc. When I plug in a battery the servos twitch, but nothing else. How long does JR normally take to service these things? Kristopher RCSE-Lis

I love my Blaster, had some initial problems with it...all more my fault than the planes. Once my RX gets back from JR it will be up in the air again! The plane launches extremely well and it's exceptionally nimble. Mine weighs in at 10.2oz (it's actually 11.1 now with the altimeter installed)

Actually that's my plan from now on. End every flight with me screaming "DEAD STICK!". What's really bad is the thing glides better than some of the sailplanes I have flown in the past; somewhere between a Sig Ninja and a Sig Riser 100. Kristopher - Original Message - From: "Jar

Okay guys, Word is that the Agea has shown itself to be the new TD bagged plane, taking up the reins where the Compulsion series left off. I was at Barry Kennedy's place this week (Kennedy Composites) and saw that he had two complete new in box Agea/Ava fuse/tail group 'kits' collected and bot

Lol! Speaking of dead stick landings... I did my first over Thanksgiving. I was up in CO Springs visiting my girlfriend's parents. Her step dad was just getting into power and asked me to help trim out his plane. Never having flown a plane with a prop before I said "Sure." We got to the field

Bill, the Aviator was just entertainment, and and pretty good at that. When I want history, I go to the library. Movies, for me, are in the entertainment arena. Regards, Dave Corven. > At 07:29 PM 1/30/2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >And your point is ??? > > You need more? > > Remarkably
