I was told by a Horizon Hobbies (JR's distributor) technician three
weeks ago that the original JR 610M RX only had a problem with
partial throttle settings when used with E-Flight ESCs. Then it was
a REAL problem! The RX has been moded and can be identified by a
small blue paper dot on the bottom and the antenna length increased
to about 39".
I had four of the originals, used each one for E-Flight, and can
attest to the problems. Was lucky & didn't loose a single A/C.
Returned all four for exchange and problems seemed to have gone away!
Good job JR & good job Horizon.
