RE: Futaba 608FS reciever locout/failure due to heat
Graig:
If I was you, I’d be sending that receiver to Futaba, it may be a bad one. We did some tests here in South Florida under 105F heat, Exposing two 608 rx to the sun on purpose and after 1.5 hours we were not able to fail it. Some guy in Germany was able to fail it at 182F, but then again, this is way more that Futaba recommends.
Sorry for you loss.
Regards,
Doug.
