I posted the following to another DX7 thread today, regarding my loss of control. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I have been flying with a DX7 for several months. Today, with a fully charged battery, I took my first flight of the day and after several circuits around the field, with the Pulse XT trimmed out perfectly, the plane stopped responding and flew off in level flight toward a nearby highway. Fortunately it ran into an exit ramp embankment before it could hit a vehicle. After recovering the destroyed plane, I checked the 4.8 volt reciever battery and it read 5.18 Volts. I don't believe this is a battery issue.

Another issue I have noticed is that my Stic sometimes does not recognize the DX7 signal when I first turn the receiver on; requiring me to turn the receiver off and then turning it on a second time. This did not occur on the Pulse.

Another, probably unrelated issue occured with a new receiver I recently purchased which has one channel (aileron) which would not work.
