Default RE: Crystals Failure?

Sorry to hear about your Big Stik.[:@] Just out of curiosity, had that receiver been through a crash before? I put a crashed receiver in another plane and everything was fine until the first time I started the engine. I ran it up to full throttle and then.... nothing. The engine is screaming and I have no way to shut down. Fortunately the plane was restrained and I pinched the fuel line to kill the engine. Sure enough, a new receiver crystal solved the problem but I always wonder what might have happened if that crystal had held in there for a few more minutes. Probably nothing good.
