Not good.....

My 4-1 Is dead, No crash, No drop, No reason.... It is just doing crazy when you plug power to it... Servos twitch all over the place and light is Red/Green Flashing and it is toast.... I have some great flights on Saturday, nice easy landing and Sunday morning It was was Very Sick...

I called Horizon Hobby, They confirmed my fear and Its on its way back to IL from Canada ($21 postage)... Now I'm going to have Wait and Wait.... Great product but temperamental..... I followed all the rules on heat sinks etc... how frustrating...

One of the guys in my club did a full 'seperates' conversion with brush-less motors (head and tail) and a micro receiver (berq 5) and separate Gyro. He claims it is slightly lighter than stock and by comparison in my hands I think he was right... I am getting the full run down of the pieces and co$t...ultimately may be the way to go If I keep burning tail motors and 4-1 units....But not cheap...


I was examining my BCP and noticed that one of the servos was very tight too when not live... any one else noticed the same? I got to wonder if a tight servo could somehow be causing extra draw and stain on the 4-1?... my 4-1 without the servo in still is going crazy and flashes quickly red/green.
