it is Kevlar not CF and i did upgrade to a the satellite rx. i also spoke to several people including the manufacturer about any possible interference due to the Kevlar. all said it was not an issue. trust me, i didn't just grab the first cheap RX i could find and throw it in the plane.

Ugh I'm bummed. Had the horizontal stab folded in a big slow roll.

With out really nailing down what happened SquirrelTale it is a crap shoot could of been many things a bad BEC a servo that stalled or drew too much voltage unless the cause can be nailed down blaming the receiver is just a cop out unless you do find that was the problem.

As much as I cringe at my nephew sometimes he flies his Jim Beam plane 30CC size with a 6 channel Lemon light receiver and never had an issue.

I have bunch's of Lemon and Gen 2 Orange receivers and knock on wood never have had a glitch

All my receivers would just shut off and never turn back on again. This happened on many different setups. Only a couple of the receivers have been crashed before

Yesterday I crashed my Cub. Forgot to check the CG took it up and then I realized it was really nose heavy. Came round for a sharp turn spiraled wildly and smashed into a tomato bush backed up by a wooden fence. Thought it would be alright but it seems as if it was to worn out and simply gave up. Was repairable but I decided to let the dead rest instead of resurrecting my plane for the possibly the 4th time. :unsure: Can't count. Oh well, it will be replaced by the mini scout which is almost finished. Just using up my horrible non papered depron.
