RE: Warning - safety!
WOW I just received (From my wife bless her heart) A new 9C. I have taken for granted the reliability of these transmitters because the mfg does an incredible job of making VERY reliable equipment. I have never had a single problem with any of my transmitters all the way down to the cheap 4 channels when I started.
I will at least keep this in the back of my mind.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your airplane. I am curious to see if this is an isolated incident or should I check my transmitter before summer hits and the 3D flying gets heavy !!
