nicely put dave...
and to respond to the other psot about the covering, yes i do have the yellw and black yak, 2 weeks ago i checked the black at around 11:00am, it was 169, so it does get hot, and it was still only ambient in the upper 80's here, my whole point with all of this is that my pcm never failed cause of heat, if it did it was a instant glitch that was not noticable flying, this 2.4 cuts out completly and WONT come back on its own, you will lose the plane for sure if it happens in the air, i wont take that chance, with cut outs or not, whos to say its on the brink of failing then on climb out it shuts off, by by plane, maybe enough air flow wasnt there in time, i agree strongly that why have a critical part of flying a possible weak link, that was said perfectly, id try a wheel if someone said it gets a flat spot sitting on the ground and i had one, but no way with this thing, i ended up returning all mine to tower, 3 recievers and the 8 channel module for the 9c, i included a letter stating that 2 of the recievers had not been used yet, and the one that did failed on my 2nd weekend, i explained about the heat thing and made reference to all the internet buzz about it, i got a full refund no questions asked, so good for tower imo, not sure if they contacted futaba or just returned it on there own cause they can? but i am not using it anymore, like i mentioned previously, my pcm had worked all last year in tucson, and is working great now, that 2.4 failed on april 26th at 11:30am...no where near temps yet to come, dont chance it if you are in a warm(hot) area
