I'm suddenly having problems with the rudder control in my DX6i. I noticed this when I just installed V2 of FSONE and tried to calibrate the TX. No rudder would show up. I thought it might be an issue with FSONE so I went to the Monitor on the TX and sure enough, there's no rudder activity.

I tested this with my plane (Alpha 40) and no rudder activity, however, if I tried to reverse the rudder servo, tt definitely moved the rudder so the TX is communicating with the rudder servo.

I'm hoping someone has a quick fix for this like go to "SETUP", select "ABC" and set it to "Y" and voila, back in business! I was hoping to fly tomorrow, but obviously not without a rudder! I'm hoping this is not so serious that I need to send this to Horizon. The TX is about 4 years old but I only fly about 5 or 6 times per year.

Probably more like send it back to Horizon because the rudder axis pot or encoder is shot

Thanks Andy. That's not what I wanted to hear, but you're probably right. I have an inquiry into Horizon now to see what I have to do next.
