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).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[NSRCA-discussion] Lost Abbra<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Helv size=2>
<P>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.</P>
<P>Thanks for all responses and advise,</P>
