Hi Bigplumbs,</p>

From your post it appears that you've had similar experiences with the quirks of the 2.4 tech , which is exactly what bothers me about the technology.</p>

How is it acceptable to us that the odd bind can fail initially on swiching on ? What are the chances that this cant happen in the air ?</p>

Ive had a situation in one of my jets  again many flights old where I took off with a perfect bind and landed with LEDs on 3 receivers blinking LED on only one external receiver remained solid  .</p>

Yet on the next flight receiver location unchanged, all LEDs were solid and  datalogger showed good values  - I accepted it then as a 2.4 quirk !</p>

This is exactly what bothers me - there is NEVER any clue why and what is happening </p>

Considering the damage a jet can do how is it acceptable that  we use control systems that can be described as a "Best of Luck" thing -</p>

 While it works its great ! But when it fails we dont know why  ..... ?</p>
