Forgive me, but since religion has been a big topic I couldn't resist titling my post the way I did. :-) Anyway, here's my story...
Recently, I suffered a radio failure that caused my beloved Kaos to go into the ground at about 3/4 throttle. I think the culprit was a solder joint on a homemade battery pack that broke in flight, although I can't be totally sure if it broke in flight or on impact. The case on my Hitec Supreme receiver was broken, and several of the pins on the board were bent. It no longer worked, so into the trash can it went. I ordered a new flight pack (servos were damaged, too). I got a crystal for the flight pack, and just on a whim, I pulled the old receiver out of the trash, straigtened the pins, removed the old crystal and inserted the new one, hooked up some servos and a battery and turned on the transmitter. To my surprise, it worked! If it range checks OK, would it be safe to use it again? What would you folks recommend I encase the circuit board in since the case was trashed?
