Thanks Mike,

Trim change with rates

When I switch to a higher rate by having separate mixes with switches selecting the mix the trim drastically changes. This only occurs on the elevator servo.

Thanks Joao. I’ll check this.

Re: Binding D8R-2 Plus Rx to QX7 Tx.

OK. Thanks everybody. Got Failsafe to work now. Anything more than a 1 second FS button press resulted in FS not setting. A half second press works. A 2 second press doesn’t set the FS. Thanks again. :D

Re: Binding D8R-2 Plus Rx to QX7 Tx.

OK. Thanks Mike. The D8R-2 Plus was bound to a model on D8. I didn’t expect it to respond to all the other models that were set to D8. I expected this Rx to only work when the model selected was the one set when it was bound. So all is OK. I’ll try to set failsafe again. Maybe I held the Rx failsafe...

Re: Binding D8R-2 Plus Rx to QX7 Tx.

Thank you Joao. The failsafe won’t bind with the appropriate receiver process using the Rx failsafe button. I’m aware of the correct failsafe setting procedure using the Rx failsafe button.
Also these receivers respond to my QX7 Tx without having been bound.
There’s something weird going on here.

Binding D8R-2 Plus Rx to QX7 Tx.

I'm using the QX7 Transmitter. Elsewhere I have read that the steady green light should be illuminated on my D8R-2 Plus Rx when it's bound. There are Youtube Tutorials showing this. But mine is red as described above when I bind it. It 'behaves' bound but I don't trust this because these receivers (...

Re: Replaced gimbal - now can't enter Bootloader.

Version 2.0 and later, but I would suggest at least 2.1.19 for a good stable and advanced version. While you’re at it, why not go for 2.2? I have v1.1.02. So my memory of previous bootloading with the 3 finger start is a false memory. I also have an X7 which I have flashed this way & that’s whe...

Sure. Once I work out how to flash it without bootloader.

Replaced gimbal - now can't enter Bootloader.

On X9D from new my left gimbal only functioned to about 80% left travel. Stick movement beyond this provided no further response. I tried recalibrating sticks. No joy. However at this stage the bootloader worked. I think. Maybe I'm rembering establishing bootloader on my QX7. Maybe it's a false memo...

Re: Programming Ele mix with throttle

What an offset does, is to add a value to the mix. so, when you apply an offset to 10 to a mix with center at zero, the new center will be 0+10=10, instead of zero.. João Thanks again. Sorry but I'm having difficulty understanding this. Maybe a practical example of an application might help. Are yo...
