    A2 fly-away and crash

    I use 2 14SG, one on the A2 receiver the other on a Futaba receiver for the Z15. I've never had any problem with this setup, ever.

    A2 fly-away and crash

    Transmitter didn't go dead, copter went crazy, and that's were I'm kind of dubious about the copter behavior, if it tried to go home, say at my house, where the last recorded would have been, it doesn't explain why it went to the opposite at full tilt then crashed in a nearby parking lot. The...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I would think so, but the GPS icon on the DataViewer never worked for me so I don't know... I would assume, then we could see if the home point recorded for my crashed differed from the actual location, because my home is the opposite to where it flew to...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    All the batteries are charged and checked prior to every flight. I was an airline pilot for 15 years and have a pretty strict routine before taking off. We're at the equator so we usually have a fantastic GPS cover, rapid flashing it was before take off. The gimbal erratic movements make think...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I appreciate your reply but, the copter was powered up a good 5' before engine start as I performed compass calibration then had a small chat with my operator who was setting up his screen etc. I distinctly remember looking at the sat count and seen 14. I have not checked for Rfi interference...
