Default Re: JR 2.4 Ghz ISSUE

Thanks for the quick reply Rusty

During my engine off range test the main RX down low was missing frames really bad, my numbers were something like:

A: 136
B: 252
L: 36
R: 12
F: 0
H: 0

Which I thought wasn't too bad and probably to be expected, given as you say the main rx is located low beside the fuel tank and there is a strip of carbon moulded into the fuse on the other side. However the 2 satellites, 1 up high and 1 in the turtle deck were good and low so that was ok.

Then I though I should try a engine on range test which resulted in massive frame loss, but the really weird thing was standing right beside the model on the ground (WASN'T holding the bind button) and revving the engine which resulted in the following figures after about 20 secs of engine running:

A: 0
B: 0
L: 0
R: 0
F: 284
H: 0

And as I mentioned earlier the F reading was like a rev counter, the faster you ran the engine the faster that number climbed. At full throttle those figures were flying through!

Its got me buggered .....

Here are my data logger figure from my last flight today.

A: 67
B: 137
L: 47
R: 15
F: 001
H: 000


and a few pics of my install.
