Default RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

ORIGINAL: moodier

Hi;Had posted about this to the Factory site but guess not the place to ask general questions!We had a problem the other day 2 FAST txs operating different rec.one 6E and one 7c one had 607 other 617 rec either radio could operate both receivers.Result was a big gasser destroyed and assurance from Futaba this not possible!!It Is!!I watched as they checked out the planes.both txs operated either rec!!Then went to another plane bound the 7c to it and worked fine turned on the other rec and it went crazy.Both units worked fine unless the other was turned on!!HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD ANY THING LIKE THIS????Guess this is more appropriate place to ask this than on there site!Like to hear if you have!!We bought these units to avoid this sort of thing.Needless to say my friend with the gasser has put all his planes back on the PCMs he had been using!Expensive when they crash!!Good Luck!
This sounds a bit suspicious to me. You say you tested the two setups and they both controlled the other receiver. Then the plane crashed. Why? are you telling me the other guy flew a large gasser with the other guy transmitting when he knew there was a problem. I dont believe it, I just dont believe anyone could be that stupid. Give us some more details. Funny thing is, I go back and see your history, and a few posts back your big post is titled "WHY NO CRASHES" , wondering why there are no crashes reported from the fasst system. Then here you go, the first evidence. Anyway, have you sent these systems back for checkup. If there is a problem then it should be found out now and if you guys have the only one that does this then you should be getting it to futaba asp to troubleshoot. Get a grip, send them in and show us some straight vids of the transmitters cross controlling and how the interference works. by the way, Futaba support didnt ignore you , they tried to replicate the problem and asked you to send them in for checkup. Have you done that yet. The ball is in your court. If this truly can happen then you should move yourself and be part of the solution.
thanks
