Got an Ace Cougar P3 3-Channel 2.4GHz that came with the Thunder Tiger Sparrowhawk VX RTR kit. It worked perfectly fine, until shipping it to someone. They pulled it out of the box (no damage to the box at all), and now it beeps and flashes for about 2 minutes, and settles in a stasis mode where it beeps every 10 seconds and flashes red. You get no response with the Rx that it was binded to.

Hobbico support says it would not be cost effective to replace. Any suggestions? Is it a total loss?

The manual says nothing about reseting the unit to defaults.

This radio is generally crap. Mine died at the end of the season shortly before regional competition due to the internal rapture of the co-axial wire used as antenna. No refunds are in question

Yeah, seems to be the case. Called tech support and I have to pay for shipping and service if the part or repair is not under warranty - $40/hour. This unit is now out of warranty by a couple months and they suggested it's probably not worth the cost of repair. I won't buy any of their stuff from now on.
