Had a lightning strike on the power lines and the surge went thru a switching 
PS into the Spid controller.  Blew the fuse, blew out the guts of the on/off 
switch, toasted the pass transistor – that’s what I can see - hopefully damage 
is limited to the PS...

Control was disconnected from the rotor.

Anyone have a similar experience ?  

Alan, N3BJ
