Default RE: What causes a brownout?


ORIGINAL: mranga

Hello,

The following problem occured TWICEwith a spektrum AR-6200 receiver and once with a Hobby King Orange receiver (euqivalent in capability the AR-6200):

The plane is flying fine. Battery is fine. Lots of charge. Sudden and total loss of control.

Any clues on how to avoid it? The reboot time on the Spektrum receivers is pretty bad. More than enough time to crash a plane. Iam considering placing the satelite receiver outside the plane or having a piece of clear monokote from where Ican actually see the receiver to make sure it is not blinking before takeoff. Is this kind of problem caused by a bad binding (blinkig receiver)?

Iam wondering (seriously considering)giving up onSpektrum and moving to Turingy +FrSky as a result of these nerve wracking moments.

Any advice?<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);">Get a Modern Radio and Receiver system. The spectrum 5,6&amp;7's are old Tech. Go to Hopping .... PERIOD.</span></span></span>

Thanks

Ranga
