RE: Major glitch with Spektrum system and jets
Here was my setup:
AR9100 receiver
4 remote antennas, one in each wing tip, one up in the fin, one in the nose.
2 A123 batteries directly plugged on the receiver. Total capacity 4600 mAh. Voltage at the moment of the crash 6,5V recorded by 2 Voltspy units pluged on the balance tab of each battery.
8 Jr 4321 servos
2 Jettronic valves
1 complete Modellbau Multilight system with a separate battery
Needless to say that I did all my torture tests before the flight as usual:
Power supply test wit 200grs of lest on each aileron and 300 grs on each elevator, servo test ON.
I measured an average consumption of 1,5 A and a very good response from the batteries.
I also did an endurace test by runing this setup for 2 hours continuously.
I did a range test on the first flight and one before the crash for the purpose of the meeting safety. The RF link with the AR9100 is amazing. The range is up to 2 times better than with the AR9000.
I could go away from the model by 100 paces without a single frame dropped ( pushing the bind button at the same time ), moving the plane in every possible orientation and with the engine ON.
So I was originally very impressed by this RX and was about to post a very positive first test feedback...
