Broken programming port on RC

[EHaskins]

I've replaced the main power connectors on four of the last five years control boards, because they always seem to break a competition.

I see no reason why you can't replace the port, other than the voiding the warenty issue. My theory is that if you can make it work for competition this year, then you're fine, since you'll get a replacement next year.

However, you should contact IFI and see what they can do.
