as far as i know there was some kind of problems in the firmware of this device,

a nice match for this radio transmitter is the FrSky module:

Hi Ryan,
Sorry to hear about the ghost. What is the issue with with your current transmitter and how did it fail?
The Tx you mentioned is probably ok with very basic RC flying etc. But if you are even moderatly serious with RC flying, a little better 6 or more channel radio is recommended preferably 2.4Ghz IMHO. This is one pc of equipment that will stay with you for long time and across all the RC and UAV journey , so you may want to have a decent partner. One trick though is to get a good branded second hand RC transmitter as many of them are being sold cheap and buy 2.4 ghz module for it from Assan or Corona. First identify , locate a second hand very good model( say from JR , Futaba etc) see if there is a module available for it and read the reviews about it)
hobby city/ Hobby king service is excelent and their prices are pretty much unbeatable. I have few things i ordered from them whcih came alright.

hey morli,
The problem was it was just old a one of the tracks has lifted slightly plus I have a cold solder joint somewhere.

What are the downfalls with the above radio? I was going to use the recommended assan module with it and I have read some good reviews about it but would like to hear your views.

I am still going to be looking for a futaba tx or ideally I would like something like the graupner mc19
