Spektrum DX6i Radio Transmitters used with model aircraft
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Horizon Hobby is recalling Spektrum DX6i radio transmitters used to control model airplanes and helicopters because they can malfunction and cause aircraft to fall from the sky while in flight, potentially crashing into bystanders or property. The transmitters can also cause propellers to spin unexpectedly, which may injure people standing nearby or working on the aircraft. The recalled transmitters are identified by "Spektrum DX6i" printed on the front and include specific item numbers (SPM6600, SPM6600E, SPM66001E, SPMR6600, SPMR6600E, SPMR66001, SPMR66001E) and date codes (807E through 812E, and 901E) located on product packaging or inside the battery compartment. The transmitters were sold individually or as part of three ready-to-fly aircraft models: E-Flite Blade 400 mini helicopters, E-Flite T-34 25 ePTS airplanes, and Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang Mk II airplanes.
Consumers who own recalled transmitters should immediately stop using them and contact Horizon Hobby to arrange free shipment of the transmitters for inspection and repair.
