Flatlander

[fastchop]

Hello everyone, I seem to be having trouble with my first generation Taranis, and I think that’s what’s attributed to a lot of what’s going on with my crashes. When the Sess went in there was nothing no RSSI low telemetry lost or anything, but definitely I had no control. Today I was flying. It was my top model twister flying along and just out of the sky it fell straight down same thing no Telemitry lost no RSSI low or prequel. Nothing when I went to retrieve it, it made a beep sound the radio got to the aircraft. It was still plugged in stuff was moving flaps elevator unplugged took it back to the table. Plug it everything worked pull the prop off re-plugged and nothing I looked down at the radio and noticed it said frsky the banner after it says welcome to Taranis. Turn off the radio turn it back on re-plugged and it was working so I seem to be having some kind of intermittent dropping. I have never updated It or flashed any new software or anything and then figure out what to do. I do have a Taranis 2019se can we transfer my models to it and I have had trouble binding first GEN receivers but I have one that I was able to get to bind that I fly my Corsa with.
Any thoughts would be appreciated thank you.

Never updated? I wouldn't fly it.

FrSky had issues with V1 firmware, and it will shift all of the channels when the bug hits. It is rare in the USA, but still a risk that does not need to be taken!

Honestly, I'd suggest you move away from the older radio and switch to the newer, but make sure you update the newer radio (back it up first), and I'd install UNI on all of the receivers. Then you will be golden.

Thank you Wayne,

I’m ordering some archer receivers start swapping them out. I can fly the Corsa and the Magnus. They’re on the newer Radio.

Well I have another receiver that would bind 4 channel my yellow jacket 3m. I have D8R’s I have 3 they will not bind or all the other x4r’s

Good morning I’m back out flying again. I have retired my gen one Taranis. I’m only using Taranis 2019 se. I have four models in it so far I only had Corsa in it. Since my last crash of my twister, the first gen radio on the bench just like blanks out and then comes back on, and I’m pretty sure it’s attributed to a lot of those crashes with the Sessanta and the Magnus. The twister is flying with UNI X4r ll The Magnus and My Orion now have ACCESS archer receivers.

Oops what the heck take a look Ms. Agnus 1000 watts Neu 1110-1y-4.4 13x13 prop

 

[Wayne]

LOL Took me a sec to figure out what you meant.

 

[fastchop]

Yes a little bit lame. I‘ve had Magnus for a couple years, Ms Agnus is aka my second (Magnus) She is a little lighter so far only on 3s battery. I do love the way these babies fly!!

They are good little rippers. Don't seem to have any bad habits and are big enough to see. Hard to argue with that mix.

We will have a new 1.8 meter in a few months. I think it will end up at 1.8. Pylon racer. Should be another fun one.

1.8m pylon? So it is on the big side. When can you share details? Anticipation and endless bench designing are half the fun of a new plane!

 

[Wayne]

It is on Mario's design bench, so it will be a ripper. Guessing 6 months before physical product.

Today’s pictures, and no radio problems!!!

 

[Wayne]

Not muddy today.

 

[fastchop]

Hey y’all, we having fun now!! Things have been pretty darn good no radio issues since getting everything onto the archers and Taranis 2019SE.

 

[Wayne]

You have some flying buddies there?

 

[fastchop]

Yes, a few there’s a gentleman here and my doggy, a lot of times. I am by myself here cause I come early in the morning before it gets hot.
