Default RE: WARNING-X9303 CHAFED AILERON GIMBAL WIRING

Keeping track of the good and bad transmitters is going to be tough. But my best effort so far is that three of four RCU responders have the chafing and six of nine responders on RCGroups have the problem. I do believe this situation needs immediate Horizon/JR attention. When one of these wires gets cut, certainly aileron control is lost and maybe this circut also disables some other part of the control system.

Below are pictures of the chip that is rubbing the wire bundle(1st picture), a picture of the original routing showing the chafed area(2nd picture) and a picture of how I have temporarily rerouted the wire bundle(4th picture). I will check this setup periodically to see if this reroute solves the problem.

Sorry for the upload of the third picture(same as first). Now the third picture is realy the fourth one. Also I see I cannot spell routed(rounted, oh well).
