I will try to keep this short. ME, novice, flying a simulator for over a year, first plane Big Stik .60 ARF O.S. 75 AX. I got my Dx6i in a trade with a friend, he flys 3D electric's{very good pilot!} I bought a spectrum 6200 Rx{ebay} joined club {SGVRCL} FIRST flight 30 year pilot helped set up plane, radio, throws, dual rates etc... first range check not good, rebind, second range check good! First flight, another 30 year pilot at controls ends in crash{8 mins into flight}sounded like plane went into fail safe mode,pilot could not recover, in it went! when recovered everything worked! rebuild plane, radio and Rx back to Spektrum. Specktrum update's the Tx firmware, new tirm switch'es, gimble's, test's, give's clean bill of health! Spectrum replace'es Rx with new one THIS IS ALL FREE OF CHARGE! LAST SUNDAY SECOND FLIGHT, same pilot helps me set up plane and Tx, range check 3 times all from farther and farther out! VERY GOOD! 40 year pilot at controls this time, very windy day, taxi it all over runway{5 mins} take off 10 mins into flight, nose down dive full throttle, inverted, trying to pull out say's he's not getting ANY elevator input, it starts to pull out but it's to late! hit's the top of a cyclone fence and....CONFETTI! it's not rebuildable this time! collect wreckage, whats left still works! WELL is it the Tx, Rx, half tell me it's the Tx, other half tells me it's the plane, should I quit the hobby while I'm $ ahead, or buy another Rx,Tx combo, plane and keep trying, just Rx or Tx ANY IDEA"S, THOUGHTS would be appreciated! thank you!
