I bought the TTX850 the replace my old first gen Futaba FASST radio. For the price it has great features and so far I have really enjoyed using it. I have 4 receivers at the moment, one 6 channel single wire antennae and one 6 channel twin wire, and one 8 channel receiver. The link light on the 8 channel will flash off and on basically loosing link a few times every 45 secs to a min and the servos become useless.. Since the 6 channels works great I assumed receiver it was a bad receiver (i noticed the issue during a battery change) and without issues hobby services sent me a new one no questions asked 2 days later. Well this one does it to and I am sure everyone can understand my concern here. Even though the 6 channel receivers seem OK it really makes me nervous. I have already emailed hobby services and I am sure they will want me to send in the radio to repair or replace it which mean that my 3 week vacation I had plan to veg at the club field wont happen!

Anyone else run into this?

I have 4 of the 8 channel receivers, 1 of them the 826 the others 825 with the top plugs. All have worked perfectly along with 6 of the 6 channel receivers.

Well let me ask you a question then. I had used the 825 in one model and flew twice with no issues. I only noticed this when I had the plane on the bench in my shop and the blinking light caught my eye, and my attention. The TX was about 1 to 2 feet away from the model. Last night I noticed that having the TX farther away from the RX made the problem disappear. I've never seen it, but could it be that the twin antennae 8 channels RX do not like to be so close to the TX?

I emailed Hobby Services about the problem and they didn't ask question they want me to send the system back so they can send me a new one, Probably best but it's going to ruin my vacation I planned to use flying.

I see your in Florida, I'm in Orange Park.
