Loaned my 9 yr old Grandsons F2 out and upon return the unit now constantly falses when the control box is moved around at any speed faster then a glacier. If you swing it incredibly slow the falsing is almost bearable.
My guess is most likely someone had it leaning against a wall and it slid down and banged the floor and knocked or broke a connection loose in the box.
I never had to send a unit in for repair so I have no idea as to cost and I really don't want to stick more then $50 or so into it, so I was wondering, ........considering postage and repair cost etc, if I wouldn't be better off just buying a new entry level machine for him? If so any suggestions in the $200-$250 range?
Thanks
