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 ?
