8yr Old Futaba 6xa - Should I have it repaired?
I have an 8 year old Futaba 6xa radio that I recently started have problems with (i.e. interference and such). While flying my You-Can-Do 40 for only the second time, the plane planted itself into the runway. I new I was getting hit so I started in for a landing. I was three feet off the ground when the plane planted itself nose it. Of course, the fuselage snapped in half and the wing received minor damage. It was a total loss as far as I’m concerned.
The question now is, should I have the old radio and receivers (3 of them) checked out or should I purchase a new Futaba 7CAP PCM radio. The way I see it, if the cost to diagnose and repair the 6xa is less than $50-$60, then I’ll have the 6xa repaired.
What do you guys think? How much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
MC
