hi guys
first of all, merry Xmas to all!!!!
Yesterday I finaly received my xmas pressie, a brand new RTF Blade 400 3D which comes with the DX 6i. I bought it myself from RC Hobbies few weeks ago and picked it up from the shop. I did notice that the box seal was broken but I had a quick sneak peak inside and all looked ok. When I got home, missuz wrapped it up and its been under the xmas tree until yesterday.
I know VERY LITTLE about helis and planes, only used to do cars in the RC world. I read a LOT on the forums and watched the 10 day instructional video on rchelicopterfun which was handy.
Now, I just wanted to ask re the settings on the DX 6i. First of all, it was in MDL1 which had a little picture of a plane there which seemed odd as the standard heli functions were not accessible (ie swash mix). When I changed it to MDL2, it has little heli picture there but the settings were completely incorrect (I googled the default 6i settings). Obviously, I had to re-bind the Tx and Rx and then set it up from scratch. Not a bad excercise as I got used to the menu and many of its functions.
The conroller plastic seems fine and undamaged but the main lcd has lots of micro scratches on it. See what I mean :

Do you guys think they sold me a 2nd hand controller? I know it works ok (well, havent flown with it) and if anything goes wrong, I still have the full warranty but it seems odd.
Is it worth taking it back for a new one or should I just keep it and be happy?
