guys, recently my AR6100 is behaving rather strangely for a particular AILERON channel. so its like u have to push and tilt the aileron servo tab to get the servo moving. at 1st i titled it slanting sideway and its ok. but for now, u have to stick something there. i tried to add some solder to the pin underneath, but problem still lies there.

yesterday it got worst, (luckily its a depron plane with rear pusher), powered up everything and trying to make the aileron connection work, and out of a sudden the motor actually moves, luckily its rear pusher with 5" prop, and not on heli.

so my question is would it be worth it to get it repaired locally by those electrical shops or sent back to spektrum? normally if u return back to the place where u bought, do they charge for anything? i have open up the cover, resolder the antenna wire as its coming off, and adding some solder to the aileron pins. thanks.

Local shop will charge. And will be unlikely to be able to fix much of anythig wrong.

If you bought it within the last year (pretty much have to since the 6100 has only been out a year, send it back to Spektrum under warranty.

ok then, i think its better to sent it back to spektrum. but the problem is i m in Malaysia, of which the shop that i bought from is saying that i need 2 months to get it repaired, and there would be a charges like for USD15.

Horizon takes 7 - 10 days. And for warranty, you pay to ship to them, they pay to ship it back.

But of course, they use slow shipping.
