companion9x update

Hi Guys, when I open companion9x its saying that there is an update, to update do I need to download the whole program for my iMac or is there another way of just updating the version I currently have? I'm on v1.48 and I assume I need v1.51 here? http://code.google.com/p/companion9x/downloads/detail...

twin servo ailerons - Expo screen

Sorry guys I'm having a mental block, I'm setting up my first twin aileron plane, should I have L Ail and R Ail in the DR/Expo screen as I just have AIL at the moment? Does the expo I put on AIL apply to both Aileron servos?
sorry if this seems a bit of a bone question…….

Re: Setting fail safe to Guardian level flight mode

Thanks Kilrah, it's all making sense now. The stabiliser 2d wing levelling mode is on ch5 so I guess I just need to program ch5 in the fail safe. The only issue I have now is I'm using a V8R7-II so i cant set it using companion so I'll set the fail safe as per the v8r7-II instructions. The fog is cl...

Re: Setting fail safe to Guardian level flight mode

Ah right, so I can set the motor to go to off and set all channels to do 'something' but not make the plane go to a switch position, ie the stabiliser level flight switch? That's a shame as the plane would 'land' as opposed to crash. Oh well, never mind, just a thought, thanks anyway.......

Setting fail safe to Guardian level flight mode

Wonder if anyone could help. I'm trying to figure out how to make my plane do this: If RSSI is lost = throttle to zero and switch to Guardian 2d level flight mode. Guardian 2d level flight mode is on switch SEv. I'm still learning open TX on the Taranis and I can't figure out how to do this, I assum...

V8r7 II will not bind??

Hi guys, wonder if someone could help, I'm trying to bind a v8r7 to my taranis, I've got the mode set to D8 and the channel set to 1-8.

I've tried every thing to get it to bind but all I'm getting is a flashing red light on the RX, what am I doing wrong here, please help, pretty please!!.....

Re: Low RSSI

I went to the airfield last evening with my lad to do a physical range test. With my lad holding to plane above his head I drove with the TX down the runway stopping every 200m, getting away from the car and checking the RSSI, all was well up to .7 of a mile (distance recorded on iPhone). At that di...

Re: Low RSSI

There are lots of factors that could cause an rf message warning. In my example, I only have a warning at the one site. Never at others. In your case, if you get then all the time - then you should investigate. Receiver leads OK? Tried changing the receiver? What's the model made of? Etc.. Possible...

Re: Low RSSI

I have found it much more sensitive. But also very location dependent. Last week - I was flying an FPV model at a new site. I was getting constant rssi warnings at about 200m. Same model at my normal site will go 500 with no warnings! The other pilot had his quad kick into fail safe a few times at ...

I get this as well (taranis and x8r) only a few flights and low and critical RSSI warnings with the plane within 100m, the plane is just a foamy trainer.

X8R issues

After I got a few low RSSI warnings yesterday when the plane was very close I thought I would do a range check. The instructions say press the f/s button for 4 seconds and the red light will be off (it was never on!) and the green light will flash, it doesent, it flashes twice then goes solid green,...

Yep, that worked perfectly today, thanks again.

Ahh right, so I would need the flvs-02 and either the hub or the FAS 40/100 sensors I guess? I'll have a look to see if I can squeeeeeeze them in!

XR8 rx telemetary sensors

I don't have much room in my plane now I have eagletree guardian fitted, the last thing I'm really after is a telematry lipo power pack low voltage warning (3s).

Am I right in thinking that the frsky FBVS-01 will do what I'm after and it will plug into the xr8 and give the telemetry I'm after?
