Default Lost my RX, then it came back.

I will try to make this short and to the point.
I installed my R149DP in my new 33% cap and after 20 flights, it has worked great.
On the 21st flight attempt, I turned on the 9C then turned on the RX and nothing happened. I have an I4C connected to the receiver and it read 6.3 volts and I tried to move some of the control surfaces and they were in hold.

I powered up the TX and RX several times with the same results, no control. I packed everything up and drove home. I checked the TX with another receiver and everything worked. I tried turning on the plane again, and everything worked.

The only thing that changed was the disassemble of the plane and the drive home. Now I am scared to put the plane back up. If this had happened while I was flying, then I would have crashed.

The receiver was serviced in February of this year (No issues before or after). The transmitter has never been serviced but never has given me any cause to have it in. What recommendations do you have????
