RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

For whatever it's worth, user CustomPC followed up to his own question over on RCG and Bax's response to him contradicts that earlier statement,
which was made back when they were still saying that...

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

They just *did* say they won't update or replace the modules unless they're ZGUID though,
which is why it was a bit confusing.
As my edit above points out, it's probably because they feel that...

Dick, other people have asked the very same questions in the Futaba support forum several times in
the last couple weeks, just as politely, and the threads were locked without an answer. Only now...

RE: 7C FASST firmware update

Good to hear.

Is this software update or comparable hardware fix available for the 6EX?
Same question for the TM-7 module?

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

Ya, those are the first two people in the US to receive any mention of a software update from Futaba service.
It's a start.

Of course Bax is still being cagey. When asked directly if there...

Sorry, I asked first. I just want to know if they're doing *anything*. Fixed or not fixed, knowing is
better than not knowing. They've been asked *specifically* whether they're offering a...

Yes ROBBE is doing that and saying that to their customers. I commend them for their customer service.
Hobbico is saying NOTHING. I thought I made it clear I was talking about Hobbico, by...

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

What proof is there that Hobbico service is fixing the issue permanently when a Tx is sent in?
For the sake of argument, let's say that that we agree that field resets are possible with some...

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

Just to clarify something. Did you verify that your Tx had a ZGUID, or did you just send it in
because the serial # matched?

I'm sorry Julez, I can't see your invoice. I've got my hands in front of my eyes.
Besides you could be an anonymous prankster just out to get Futaba. ;)

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

Yes, that's an apt analogy, but let's make it as accurate as possible given the information we have.
1. It's very rare and hard to reproduce. It probably takes shifting within a tiny 40ms window...

RE: Major Glitch in a Futaba SS system!!

Do you believe field resets are happening or not?

Next one:
If not, is there anything short of a Hobbico rep saying "yes they are happening", that you'd...

Dick, it doesn't need to happen to thousands of FASST users. It only needs to happen to two of them who then
fly at the same location for something bad to happen. Even if something bad does...

that they're covering their ass with the confusing wording in the...

Actually his opinion is much closer to mine, than yours.
I agree that a large part of the problem is that the distributors are all seemingly handling this independently of each other.

Just out of curiosity, which claims turned out to be unfounded in this case?
Before Futaba officially admitted *anything* we knew that

solid enough, and consistent from case to case to be credible, while Futaba USA has repeatedly...
