Luckily I didn't have to lose an airplane, but I was pretty shocked when the Futaba guy told me that is what would have to happen. So . . . I just short circuited the process. . .<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 3:51 PM, Ron Van Putte <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vanputte@cox.net">vanputte@cox.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The old ones are blue and the new ones are white. . . there is a secret code to getting them changed out. You have to tell them that you're getting intermittent glitches that you can see on the servo screen.<br>
<br>
Otherwise they won't change them out until you lose an airplane. . .<br>

And if they could just tell us exactly what that secret "color" is, we could all look at our radios and figure out if they need to be replaced or not. Almost there...<br>
<br>
OK, let's try this:<br>
Tony - what color are the encoders that you install when you service one of these radios that has "bad" encoders?<br>
