A really good guy in our club had a crash and then put the same receiver in a beautiful GP Shoestring little while later. It range checked fine. During the flight it glitched several times so he wisely decided to bring it in. On the final approach it glitched bad and the plane went in. It was pretty sad to see that happen t such a nice plane.
I see RC planes just like full scale planes. If you take too many chances or shortcuts, bad things can happen. I like my planes and have too much invested to risk something so preventable.
I agree 110 % with everyone. I crashed my plane last year, bought another plane and put the same RX in the new plane. I ranged tested it and it worked great. I gut up to 100 feet and absolutely no glitches. So off I went and again I crashed my plane and I thought it was me that caused the crash but really couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. Anyway, the front end was destroyed but everything inside was unscaved. Heck it was all still secured where I put everything even. I sent in the receiver because I just couldn't believe I destroyed 2 planes in 2 flying sessions and sure enough part of the antenna was pulled away from the board. $50 or whatever the plane costs and possibly the other equipment on the plane definitely not worth it. So I would send that RX in and get it checked out. Just MHO
