I've already had several PMs asking what the catch is. I replied that there is no catch, but on reflection I was maybe a tad hasty, for there is a catch. Two, in fact.
The first catch being that you will only be getting the Tx and the Rx. The 4 servos that Spektrum supplied are already installed in an airframe and I don't really want the hassle of stripping them out. Ergo, the deal only includes the Tx (w/1500mA battery), the dual receivers, the binding plug, manual and original packaging.
Purchased from RedBank Models, maybe five or six weeks ago, it's still in pristine condition. But apart from playing around with the programming, the radio itself has never been used because of dodgy ulcers and crappy British weather.
An off-the-cuff remark in a previous DX7 thread invoked quite a few PMs already. So I've had to bring a second catch into play.
I've decided, in order for every member here to get a fair chance, to ask you all a question. The one with the best answer wins. As simple as that.
The offer is open to everybody, but if any non-UK Mayhem'ers are interested, the deal is that you cover the cost of shipping. Apart from that, the same two rules apply to all members:
Rule #1) You might make a cock-up with your first answer. So take another try. But more than two replies from the same member means sudden death.
Rule #2) You give your permission for your winning answer to be posted here.
The only other thing -- try to avoid one-line'r replies. Don't fret about spellings or grammaticals or whether you think you and I are friends or not. That's not important. The important thing is to just try to remember that I want this radio to go to a good home. There is no 'closing date' as such in which to post your replies, but neither do I want this thread to drag on and on. So, as it stands, the receivers are still residing in the aforementioned airframe. That's where they will stay until I get the new radio, or until sufficient time that each of you gets a chance to post your answer - whichever comes first.
So by now you're probably wondering what the question is.
You all sitting pretty? Then here we go.......
All you have to do is write ( PM me ) why you think YOU should have this radio.
Here's a couple of eye-gasm pics.
Good luck one and all.
