Title: Wow! That was easy. DX 6 trim tab repair
Post by: Frank v B on April 08, 2017, 10:07:33 AM
The trim tabs on my aileron and rudder sticks were not functioning on my DX6.  Last weekend I flew my Birdie 10.  It took a nasty turn after takeoff that I could not trim out.  Landed it and mechanically fixed it at the servo.

Bruce Weaver was kind enough (for once ;D) to send me a video on how to fix it.  The guy I bought the DX6 supplied two new trim tab assemblies. 

I just watched the video and did the repair in a total of 15 minutes.  I am a guy whose electrician doesn't allow him to work on anything with more than two wires.  He knows my dis abilities.  A transmitter has many more than two wires.

Thanks Bruce.

Bruce,

re: "I am not always evil...  "


... just partly evil. ;)

You said that even I could do it.  You were right.

Re - "You said that even I could do it." 

I did have my doubts, but I am proud of you for being able to do it.   :o
