Default RE: e-flite bcx2 problems

Lol, last time I crashed mine turned out to be the most expensive to date... had to replace the 3n1 as well as the receiver. At first everything looked ok, the usual broken body mounts and skids- the shafts and flybar were still perfect, as well as all the brand new micro heli aluminum and xtreme parts, even the blades were fine. Put things back together and it wouldn't bind anymore... hmmm, upon further inspection, the esc case wasn't staying closed... the esc mixer board was bent and missing the covers for the rate sensors. No biggie, I had picked the bcx2 used in a supposedly "broken" condition, and had finally found that it had been maladjusted from the factory. Many many flights and crashes later, I finally had to buy something that cost more than $5 and wasn't just an upgrade. Still couldn't get it to bind though, so I went and ordered a new receiver. Whatever, imho, the bcx2 is on par with something like an old rc10- decent out of the box, and a huge aftermarket.... my bcx2 and my old trusty rc10 were and are so reliable and easy to fix, that they became boring to me (in a very relative way- nothing boring about this hobby). Anyway, hopefully I get to fly this weekend....
