Default RedwingRC Yellow power expander problem

I was break in running my DLE 20 on the ground and the power quit. Tried different batteries same result. Nothing lights up my receiver is getting
no power. I was using the deans connectors. Tried it with switch and then unplugged the switch still no power. Sounds like it shorted out for some reason. This is a new unit never been in the air or damaged in anyway. I'm glad I wasn't in the air! If this is a sign of their product quality it makes me wonder about the
quality of their planes!

I've had excellent luck with their planes.

Give them a call.

Is it the newer pro series with the LCD screen and a plastic outer shell?

Call them or send a message through their contact page. They WILL get back to you. It'll probably be Craig. Their customer service is great. He has walked me through trouble shooting steps over they phone and is real helpful. If you end up sending it back, they are pretty quick at getting items replaced.

Did you send yours in? They said mine was out of warranty. Did you figure out what went wrong with yours? I still don't know what happened with mine.

No I did not send it in. Bought it from a guy who bought several when they did a close out sale on them. Just will not buy another. Brand new AeroWorks 30 cc Ultimate first flight. Ouch!!!

Gosh, that's tuff. Mine is on a super skybolt I built from a kit about 12 yrs ago. I'd hate to lose it.
