RE: Loss of control in flight using AR7000 & DX 7
Hey all
Thanks for the helpful replies. I got ahold of an old buddy of mine where I used to live. He is in the electronics field and makes his own packs. He hooked me up with some 6v, 2400 Mah packs (3) for future this and projects. Thanks again for all the help. If not for reading this post I just might have lost a plane to ignorance. Hope this helps others avoid a costly mistake. "dumd thumbing" a plane in is bad enough, let alone a simple set-up failure.
I do think Horizon should step up to the plate on this. Everyone knows you need enough battery. However, I'll bet a lot of Spektrum users are not aware of this potential "reboot" situation if using their supplied rx pack. They advertise it as suitable for large scale planes where it is a sure bet that higher load servo's will be used. It should not be assumed that the user knows an upgrade is needed. There are a lot of good pilots who's forte is flying, not building and set-up. Education is needed from the manufacturer to fully understand and operate their product.
I will say that Horizon has always been great with me when I have had issues with their products. Product support is outstanding.
Just my 2 cents
