Default RE: Hitec Spectra Module Potential Problem?


ORIGINAL: Texastbird I've been flying a Spectra Module in a Futaba 9C for some months now with not a single problem. I recently flew a new airplane and everything was going well. My flying buddy asked me why the lights on the module were blinking (he could see the back of the radio). I went ahead and landed the plane and did some checking and it seems that the servos movement causes the red and blue light to blink on and off. These are a different brand of servos I had been trying out on a couple of 72mhz planes and they have worked real well for me. Is this some type of interference caused by a cheap servo or what? Anyone experienced the blue and red light on the module blinking on and off? On every other plane I have flown since I have seen that the red light stays solid red as it should. This is with Futaba and Hitec servos of different types. Thanks, Tim
The benefit of Hitec AFHSS telemetry, those lights indicate that your Servos are either faulty or your receiver battery /ESC is not capable of supplying sufficient power for that mix/number.
