Read if you have a Pyro 800/850

For those flying their XXtremes with Pyro 800s, Kontronik released this news item today (thanks to jamin_00, who initially posted this in the Motor repair and winding sub-forum):

Lose Magnete bei PYRO 800/850
Leider gibt es einige wenige PYRO800/850 Motoren, bei denen beim automatischen Verklebungsprozess möglicherweise zu wenig Klebstoff eingefüllt wurde. Bei den PYRO 850 Motoren kann dies nur Motoren betreffen, die einen Heli aufgelasert haben, bei den PYRO 800 Motoren läßt sich die Baureihe optisch nicht unterscheiden.
Sollten Sie unsicher sein können Sie ihren Motor gerne zur kostenlosen Überprüfung zu uns einschicken. Wir danken für Ihr Verständnis.

From Google Translate:
Loose magnets at PYRO 800/850
Unfortunately, there are a few PYRO800/850 engines which was the automatic bonding process may be too little adhesive filled. In the PYRO 850 engines may be involved only engines who lasered a helicopter in the PYRO 800 motors can the series do not differ visually. If you are unsure you can send your engine happy to free check to us. We appreciate your understanding.

Regarding the Pyro 850s, I believe that Kontronik is saying that 850s that are affected are only those that are designated as helicopter versions, with "HELICOPTER" laser-etched on the motor.

I'm not sure if those in the US have to send the motors Germany, or if there's a Kontronik USA service contact. I e-mailed Kontronik this question and will post whatever they reply.

Not happy over here.

(BTW, I also posted this in the 700 XXtreme sub forum. Just wanted to make sure that this info was conveyed).

Info is a bit poor, doesn't state if its all produced since day one or just between certain dates, also looks like we're expected to pick up the bill for sending it to Kontronik.
