I bought an Aurora 9 radio system I set it up as told to by the manufacture. I even called them and ask if my gasoline engine would be ok to use, service said yes over the phone. I was told the problems were a optical kill problem and not the radio system. So I did not use a optical kill switch. My plane failed to respond on the fourth flight and crashed. I had no throttle no rudder no control of any surface. Here is what I read online to day below. I think it is a no Brainer they need to start buying plane's for the people who lost them due to radio failure. If you lost one please let me know. Please be honest and what gasoline engine was used. I would like to know what electronic ignition was used too. And If you used a optical kill switch. I was solid when I flew my nitro plane's. When I flew my new gasoline plane with electronic ignition my plane did not get a full four flights and crashed. I was locked out, brown out what ever you want to called. I do not expect this post to be here long RCU will probably erase it.


From HITEC USA:

Update:

After testing to determine what was causing the reports of lockouts
for some people we strongly believe now that the Optical devices did
NOT play a factor and that it was ignition noise.

We will release a new RX firmware update very shortly that will offer
better rejection against this and a re-boot feature that it is does
get locked out by this it can recover without having to cycle power.

We apologize for this situation but feel that this update should
eliminate the potential for the problem by a very significant amount.

Mike.
