[NSRCA-discussion] Futaba FAAST trouble

[Pete Cosky]

There have been a couple incidents in the UK as well; it seems to be an issues with the 6 and 7 channel radios, but that could be due to the higher sales numbers of those systems.

  Just ONE suspicious and questionable incident.  Doesn't worry me.

  I am sure a bunch of you are watching the various threads on this, but if not and you have one of the Futaba 2.4 systems, be careful.  Apparently on a couple of occasions one radio has shot down another.  So far it has only been reported a couple of times with the 6 and 7 channel modules only.  The word on the forums and I am not sure how accurate this is, is that some transmitters have been shipped without programming a unique identifier into them.  They have the basic 0000. code.  The receiver is bound to the transmitter's supposedly unique code.  So if two transmitters have not been programmed with a unique ID then any receiver bound to one of them will respond or be shot down by the other, because they essentially have the same ID code.  Again I am not sure that this is suspicion or fact but be careful if you are flying one until more is known.
