I have already had to send it in for repair once due to having no throttle response, got it back and worked fine, checking blade pitches today and the same thing happened, no throttle and when i go to full throttle all i get is a little bit of servo twitching so i'm fed up with it. Never even flown my bird with it, basically brand new

not under warranty anymore, i don't know if mine was part of that recall or not but i wish they would replace it instead of repairing it, i would have more faith in a replaced one versus a repaired one so its probabally cheaper for me to send in for repair,i just dont want to get it back and get in the air and it do it again while in the air.

Depends on how much you want to spend. I have been eyeballing the Futaba T8J and for about $250 you get a high quality radio. You can also look at the Tiranus which is a bit cheaper but has a learning curve.
here is the link for the radios

If the issue is the same as the previous repair, and that one was in the warranty period.. It may still be covered even though it's now out of warranty... Get horizon/spektrum on the phone and see what they say.. Good luck.

Sent The TX in And HH Repaired it and it is on it's way back to me, They did not charged me for repair ( not under warranty) but they did not say what was wrong with it or what they did to repair it. So my Question is , Why would it all of a sudden just not Have any Throttle Control or Pitch Control ( nobody else ever have this Problem)?. It's really gonna suck if i get in the air and all of a sudden lose Throttle and pitch control. I bought my Heli in 2012 with no radio so i got the DX6i put all the settings in and was learning to hover and had a small crash due to Chopsticking so while saving up funds for repair i was on my Sim one day and thats when radio took a crap on me,so i sent it in for repair and got it back and it worked fine on Sim. Finally got $$$ for repairs for Heli last month and while checking everything over and making sure blade pitches were correct Radio just stopped having Throttle and pitch control. so Radio is basically brand new. Sorry for being longwinded but i just thought i would give the full story. I'm just afraid it's gonna happen when actually get to fly. No one else ever have this problem.???? I really can't afford another radio at this time. Thanks for reading my rant
