Ok?!?

How much or what did Spektrum give you to make up this Cockin-Bull story????



Sorry couldn't resist ...... Glad to here you found out what caused the problem, we all make mistakes, it's just good that we learn from them.

First of all I didn't re bind the radio. The receiver was already factory bound and I assumed the throttle would have been off but I didn't check and it wasn't.

Next, I was using a neckstrap from a lantern. It had larger than needed hooks and swivels. The hook post for the neckstrap is right at the top of the switch.
It was those hooks and or swivels that somehow pushed the power switch down when I picked up the transmitter. The switch does not take much force to move down and off so other users beware!

I am going to make a safety lid cover for my switch so this can't happen again.

Repaired the model, did a rebind, and everything is working well. Thanks
