[NSRCA-discussion] JR 12x

[Stuart Chale]

Does the screw look stripped?  If something is stripped it would likely 
be the plastic piece it threads into.  If you just backed out the screw 
and it fell out then you shouldn't have stripped anything.  If you were 
tightening it and it came out then something is likely stripped.  Very 
unlikely that your local hardware store will carry anything close to 
that size (it is metric as well).  I am not familiar with the sticks on 
the 12X but have taken apart almost every Futaba stick.  Are you trying 
to replace the screw through an access hole in the back or did you 
remove the back of the transmitter?  If you haven't I am recommending 
that you remove the back case so you can see what you should be 
threading into.  If you stripped a small plastic piece it may be easily 
replaceable although I know Horizon does not like to sell parts to us.  
If you have to send it in Horizon is very good about fixing little 
things like this and not charging for it.

When I try to screw it back in, the screw acts like it is stripped. I want to try another screw but I think it is fine thread and don't know the size. I am going to the local hardware tomorrow to see if I can match. I have not looked in the owner manual for anything yet, but have looked online for a picture, but no luck. HELP
