Tim, Jeff, Skypuppy,

Thanks - indeed, it looks like the card is corrupted!

Talked to Chris at Ifly and he is offering to send me a new card.

Once I get it, do I then need to disassemble the device to install it or can the card be removed and replaced without taking it apart?

I can see what looks like a card but do not want to tug on it or damage the device in any way without knowing for sure or having some type directions.

Many of you have built your own systems, but I simply purchased the one on Ifly and have been using it for a couple of months.

Gents, for future reference, is there anything that I might have done to cause this damage to the card?  Again, it was working OK during a flight - I landed, went to start up again for the next leg of a X-C, and that is when the problem started.

So, for future reference, is there any particular way to shut-down, to store, or to care for the STRATUX other than normal care as we would any other electronic device?

Thanks Gents, your advice here has already helped me in this and other areas of Ifly and Stratux operations.

Skypuppy,

Many thanks on the "shutdown procedures." I never knew that.

I've been flying with the STRATUX for 2 months and had no idea that is what you are supposed to do - will start doing that right away.

Amazing that bit of advice is not in any directions or advice anywhere...I was just shutting it down, and my STRATUX is tied into ship's power via the adaptor (no battery).

I wonder how many other devicdes are ruined in this manner by simply not knowing?

Again, thanks - I will put this advice to use as soon as I get the device up and running again.

Regards, Mike
