Default Serious range problem-->Here is the skinny now
Well, got my new ECU today, a red V4.0, threw me for a curve at first, thought they were all blue.

ANYWAY


I put channel 52 back in and did a little check with the old ecu, cant get 30' without failsafe, I mean full failsafe!

I changed to channel 23, I get enough range to fly.

I put the new red ECU in place, put in channel 52, I get enough range to fly!!

I changed to channel 23, no change, still enough to fly, I am doing this in an alley behind my house, with power wires and a travel trailer in between me and the jet. BUT, there is definately 100% of an improvement on channel 52. Why does the old one work on channels 23 and 48??????????

Anyhow, I will be heading out to the field to give a correct check unobstructed to see what it says. And I have not done any engine running range checks either. But so far so good!

Thanks all for the help, and big thanks to Bob Wilcox of Jetcat USA for 2nd day airing me another ECU!!:thumbup:
