A guy called me today wanting my address so he could send me his =
Tekna for repair. It seems that when he unpluged the charger from the =
scooter charging port, it ignited the afterburners and was launched into =
his front yard, his neighbors yard and across the street. He did it =
right, he unpluged it from the power source first, but it did not seem =
to matter this time. Noone was hurt, thankfully, but this does raise an =
issue. We have all known that the DV-3x's were unstable at best. Where =
do we draw the line? I have repaired the Teknas for 3 years now, but I =
am beginning to wonder if I will repair them anymore. What should we do? =
There are a lot of them out there, about 11,000 were built. I am sure =
that a couple of thousand are lost or out of service, but that still =
leaves a large number still running. We need to find a way to improve =
the 3X's by putting the motors in the Mako or DV-100 style bodies. Does =
anyone know where I can get about 7 or 8 thousand Mako or DV-100 =
bodies???
