[NSRCA-discussion] Lost Abbra

[John Pavlick]

Holy cr&#! Well at least you figured it out. It looks like we all learned
something from this albeit at the expense of an airplane. BTW - the battery
stays in my Futaba 12Z just fine (sorry - had to add some humor to this
whole thing).

  Looks like I have a good idea what happened with the Abbra. The TX battery
door is not holding the battery well and the battery cassette dropped and
turn off the JR 10X TX.  I did check at lunch time and appears that it was
the problem. I will do more test tonight using the tray. The reason why got
disconnected is that I do the snap with fingers very fast. The additional
vibration from the snap caused the power loss for few seconds. In my TX, the
door has been bending with the age and did not hold the battery since leaves
too much gap between the door and the battery causing the problem.   I can
send pictures if requested.  Unfortunately, the bend is located in the side
where the battery plugs with the TX. I was surprised how little the battery
can move to cause the power loss.  It is also very easy to see when the TX
comes off and on by setting on a hard surface.  It is clear that others have
been having the problem.!  & nbsp;Therefore, check and make sure that the
battery door close good. Also, put something around the battery cassette to
make sure that vibration when we set the radio on hard surfaces does not
move the battery. I think it is even better to tape the door and the
battery.

  Thanks for all responses and advise,

  Vicente "Vince" Bortone
