Default DX-7 Spectrum Radio - Trim Switches

In setting up a new airplane with the DX-7, I just noticed that the travel adjustments on the elevator trim switch is acting pretty strange. As I push forward on the switch, the indicator shows upward movement on the LCD screen but will not return to a neutral position. I've turned the radio off, disconnected the battery, reconnected it and it still won't return to neutral.

Try pushing the trim switch down.

Of course, I kept trying that and when I try to push the trim switch down, nothing happens...it's as if it's locked in an upward position and won't readjust.

sounds like a bad switch in the transmitter.

I had this happen not too long ago...thought I had broken the switch. Turns out I had a small piece of dirt stuck in it...

[8D] Go to page #35 in the manual and do a model reset.,..this will clear the trim problem...if it doesnot..send it to Horizon.
