I just got off the phone with Todd at Horizon Hobby, He referred me to page 102 in the DX 7 maual which states “Do not fly below 9.0v on the transmitter or below 4.7 on the receiver. To do so can crash your aircraft”
Now I ask you, Don’t you think this statement should be placed a little more in the front of the operators manual? Todd told me that a 6 volt Rx battery would be a better choice than a 4.8 volt pack. Well I have one question then, why does spektrum ship a 4.8 volt battery pack with every radio if 6.0 volts is a safer option to avoid an in-flight receiver re-boot? I told him I was a big supporter of spektrum products but I now don’t feel I have been given the information in a manner that allowed me to fly my aircraft in the safest possible way. All also asked if they would in any way compensate me for the loss of both planes and Todd said no, we do not cover collateral damage from the use of our products.
I am very disappointed by the way specktrum has handle the information and customer service issues here.
