Wavebird Repair

[Lucky13]

Anyone have any experience is repairing a Wavebird? these things are so expensive that I thought I might try my hand at it. This is the problem. The Wavebird only works at about two feet from the receiver. Otherwise it won't work. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Wavebirds are very difficult to repair on your own unless you have some electronic background. I've had what you describe happen to me, and my advice is to trade it in for a new or used one. save yourself a few bucks.

Normally you can't fix a Wavebird. If it's not working, it most likely is shot. Buy a second hand one cheap.

Check your battery before getting rid of it. Low batteries can cause all sorts of miscues. Then check it on all channels (receiver and controller). I had one that would do that on one channel, but would work on others.
