After having a faultless experience with my Spktrum gear I finally managed to get a bit of a problem on my EPP combat wing. I noticed that the throttle was beggining to act a bit weird so I checked it out on the bench. It went from 'bit to weird' to not working at all!
I did some investigation thinking that maybe it was my ESC or my motor or battery etc etc. And after trying out multiple confiurations it came down to when the ESC was plugged into the throttle channel all channels would work except throttle. If I plugged a battery (or the ESC) into the BAT port and plugged a servo into the Throttle channel it was fine. I tested this out with 3 ESC's and it always did the same thing. I even got my other AR6100 out and that worked fine.
Good news was that I took it back to the store I got it from (also the supplier for Spektrum in Australia) and they swapped it straight over due to it being a V1 AR6100. New one works fine :)
