[NSRCA-discussion] Lost Abbra

[vicenterc at comcast.net]

Still was mechanic error.  I remember several times when unplugging the charger that the door got open easily.  At that moment, I should go ahead and replace or fix that problem.  My old 10SX II never have that problem.  Now, I wish that JR didn't change the old design.  Lesson learned.  Fix any detail as soon as you see have chance to see it.

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 cl
ose 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,
