I think I have a faulty Spektrum AR410 receiver, but I have no idea how to draw the final conclusion. After 56 flights, my spitfire SBK finally took a dirt nap and I believe it was because of the AR410. A little context, I was getting ready for a few evening flights and after plugging in the battery, the receiver never powered up, so I took the power pod out to start the investigation and found the receiver was no longer bound to my transmitter, which was the first time this has ever happened. So after binding again, I did a range test and did not have an issue so I put the pod back in and put her in the air. 2 min into the flight I lost connection and the rest is history. After recovering the wreckage I started a very methodical investigation into what caused this, and right now I am stumped as I have not found anything abnormal and I can not get my electronics to recreate this lost connection. I cycled power dozens of times, ran 3 batteries with WOT and randomly moving the sticks around the full 4 min that a normal flight would be, and still nothing to indicate a faulty component. So I came here to ask for help.
What are the proper testing procedures for a receiver?
Has anyone else had this problem with a AR410?
If I still can't find a problem, should I trust the receiver in another plane?
Thanks for any input.
