I have to apologize for my stupidity. [X(] A strange thing happens when you get older-you develop CRS. Unfortunately, I have an advanced case of CRS, for which there is no cure. (CRS = Can't remember s**t.). I hadn't been flying for a while when I put my big foot in my mouth on this thread the other day. Somewhere between my training period and my most recent flying time, I got the sequence out of order (the CRS must have kicked in). I talked to my instructor at the field today and he set me straight. You guys were right, you always turn the transmitter on before the receiver to avoid any damage to the servos. I would have bet money it was the other way around. I guess I've just been lucky so far. A big DUH! to me. The proper order of sequence is Tx on, Rx on, then Rx off, Tx off. I'm really sorry if I caused any confusion. I openly welcome any and all verbal abuse-I've got it coming to me. Hopefully by the time you youngsters out there get to be my age, there will be some good drugs to take to eliminate CRS. [8D] The mind is a terrible thing to waste. [&o][&o]
