Default AR6200

What is the latest on the AR6200? I am having nothing but glitches. No problem with the 6100E. Fill me in.

I'm sure there have been some reported problems but a review of spektrums website shows no bulletin that would imply there is a problem with the 6200 series of rx's. I just bought a 6200 and hope to find that it is trouble free, currently I use a couple ar6100s, two 7000s, and one 6300. All of them operate flawlessly.

I have seen quite a few people say that they have no problems with their 6200s so maybe you got a bad one if it is the rx. You could try replacing the remote rx and see if that helps.

No problem with mine. You may want to revisit your installation and power. May not be the receiver. could be your ESC.

Every 450 I own, including the latest review heli, a Beam E4 has one and I haven't had any issues with them.

I must have a bad one, it is properly set up and bound. Always at the end of a flight the main reciever is always flashing and somtimes the remote. I have replaced batteries at the advice of Horizon and still the same problem. I have no problems with the same TX and my several AR6100 receivers in my 450s.

6200 problem solved!! After a fine tooth combing, and I mean fine!! A loose terminal end was found in the battery plug at the RX. It was not loose enough to come out when pluged in but apparently not seated such that the vibrations of flight would cause intermittent contact triggering the receivers to show a low voltage fault. This was a new switch assb., the ultimate needle in the haystack! Thanks to all who responded!

So it was talking to you? You just took a while to find out what it was saying.

Glad it didn't cost you a model.

Came real close!! I grounded the heli until the problem was found or a different RX/TX system was tried. Worked with the thing an entire day, systemtically, took the blades off and ran it (low RPM!!) and bingo the RXs kicked a low voltage light. Thats is when I knew I was on to it. The biggest thing to remember is GROUND the heli if it is glitching, it is is one potentially lethal thing if you loose it!
