Default Radio check up

I have a 7C Fasst system I bought 2 years ago. I have had it in constant use since I bought it and have added 8 more R617FS receivers to it, 4 in the first year. I have not had one problem with it. Cycling the tx's battery it still has 95% of its capacity and it holds its charge well. When do you think I should send it in for a check up and should the receivers that are more than one year old also be sent in?

Annually is a good idea, but if you perform careful range checks before each flying session, you'll be alerted to potential difficulties. As long as the receivers haven't been subjected to a crash or other form of severe impact, and you get good range checks, you should be OK. If you have any doubts, though, we'll be glad to check out anything you want us to see.

Bax, thanks for the reply. I will send it in January with the older receivers. For one thing, I would like the modification that allows a battery cycler to be used with the transmitter without removing the battery.
