It is also kind of odd (fortunate?) that the failures seem to happen on the ground. Probably just some sort of coincidence I suppose.
It makes me wonder if perhaps one batch of RXs got made with some heat sensitive component. One with a lower temperature threshold. Something seems to have changed. And other than Yuri, has anyone sent in a RX that suffered this fault?
It will be very interesting to hear what Futaba determines. I hope it is soon too, with summer heat on the way and people freaked out about using their 6014 RXs time is critical.
I think Jurgen's point is that all electronic components have a temperature range that they are spec'd for. We usually don't pay any attention to it, but maybe now we need to.
As far as why this appears to be mostly in large aerobatic planes I think that may be because that is where most people are going to use a 14 channel RX.
A very curious situation that is just another example of how weird the wonderful world of electronics can be!!
As far as what we can learn, I think that most everything now is in the hands of the Futaba engineers. They are the only ones who can really give us a definitive answer. All I know is that I would hate to be the guy who designed this thing, because you know he's got a lot of people staring him down right now!! | |

Can you hear me now !!!!you see all this problem with futaba sounds suspicious.
