Hi all, ive been flying my vapor RTF from parkzone for over a year and really enjoy it, but recently i dont get any response to left rudder input (this is the right stick but i controls the rudder) ive opened it up and there are no visible broken connections or other problems. i know it isnt the servos because i have bound it to my MCX and the problems persist.

has anyone else had this problem? if so, has anyone been able to fix it?

i would replace the transmitter but i really dont want to fork over $40 one when i could save for a DX7.

another thought i had opening t up was that there is a chip that plugs into the a larger chip which has the sticks and switches attached to it. is there any way to take this chip and somehow move it to my DX6? sorry for my lack of proper vocabulary on the subject, radio lingo isnt exactly my forte.

Thanks for your input! -wings

You've already gotten far more "intimate" with your radio than most people. Changing batteries is about as sophisticated as we usually get.

Unfortunately without schematics there's not much you can do to troubleshoot the transmitter at a component level even if you knew what you were doing. Of course since it's proprietary you can't get the schematics.

If you had a DX6i or a DX7 you could simply bind the Vapor to the better transmitter. Of course you're still saving for one, so that's out.

I would recommend you contact Horizon Hobby support. They should be able to take your transmitter and fix or replace it under warranty. In the meantime you can use the MCX transmitter to fly the vapor.
