Hey guys,
I opened the back of my 9303 tonight and what I found was very concerning. The wires coming off of the pot that's hooked up to the aileron gimbal were all but chaffed through. The negative wire was 3/4 of the way worn through and the positive lead was staring to have some exposed copper. Upon further inspection it became clear that the wires were being rubbed up against the back of a circuit board on the back cover of the radio when the ail/ele stick was deflected. This was an obvious disaster waiting to happen. As soon as the chaffing exposed anymore of the copper on the positive lead I'm sure it would have shorted. This may be old news to some guys (I found out about this through a thread that was started in 2008) but I just came into knowledge about this. So I'm posting it here just so anyone who has the 2.4GHz JR9303 in the NW can get in the know before this problem gets to the point of catastrophic failure in their radio. We're sending the radio in ASAP to get it fixed.
-Matt

P.S. Here is the bulletin that JR posted on this issue back in 2008; http://www.jrradios.com/Articles/Art...ArticleID=1822

I just finished a video of the new Extreme Flight MXS EXP here:
This plane is a great little plane to practice IMAC with, but if you want to be crazy, that's what it was made for! Hope you all enjoy it!

Thanks buddy! All glory goes to God for He is the one who gave me the talent!

I don't want to take Kyle's nickname, so I need something else. No one will take the Alien's place!

Daniel I am amazed .... you keep getting better and better. You have outstanding ability to blend precision flying and good timing to the music. I see great use of the whole flight envelope too.I want you to know I fly like you too. That's right, every night in my dreams! Keep the videos coming.
