The screen on my RDS goes dark when exposed to sunlight during flight. When I am done flying and put it in the shade the screen fonts become ledgeable again. Anyone else experience the same problem?

Clarc, I use the RDS system for the same type of aircraft you fly, my next 35% is going to utilize Smartfly's EQ10 Power Box. Arguably the only way to power giant scale aircraft.

I run a 3800 nimh 6v pack and a 2500 nimh 6v pack. The RX operates down to 1.8volts, your servos will stop working before the receiver does.
