One question, did you use a 4 cell or 5 cell battery?
I lost three planes on Spektrum do to the use of 4 cell flight packs. If the voltage drops below 4.8V, even for a split second, it can cause the receiver to reboot, which takes up to 6 seconds. That is normally too long to wait to gain control of your plane. I don't use anything but 5 cell packs now. Some guys use the capacitor that Spektrum sells and you can also send in receivers and have the upgrade done to them. I just use 5 cells. So far, so good.

The voltage for this to occur is something like 3.5 to 3.8 volts and the long reacquisition time is only for the older non-upgraded spektrum and JR receivers. Most older Spektrum and JR receivers that do not have this fast recovery feature will be updated by Horizon for free. Just send it in their service department.
