Jim
On that thread "How-to videos" there are two links for videos
They both do not work
Please reinstate them back
One was about how to configure Nanos
the other one was about X10
Mike
I am still using your bits

XPS,
Over the years I've been able to use the XDP device or the Telemetry Station for the XPS Radio System applications like the Programmer, Scanner and Updater.
I just observed that while the Telemetry Station works with the RSSI application, I cannot run it with the XDP device.
Should the XDP work with the RSSI application? Or, it the RSSI application only intended for only the Telemetry Station?
Thank you,
Paul

sudden dive |

i wonder if anyone has a possible explanation for the following model behavior with nano receiver.
first time i crashed a larger glider 6 years ago the following way: i did i range test as recommended and forgot to remount the transmitter antenna. nevertheless i flew on a slope and the plane flew beautifully but then went into a sudden dive, i obviously pulled the elevator but nothing happen and just before crashing it recovered. oh i thought what was that and kept flying and it happened again, same thing it recovered. no i thought oh i better land. so i flew a larger loop behind the hill made a turn and the plane flew towards me ready for landing and suddenly when into a dive again and crashed.
obviously i blamed the missing antenna. i am not sure how fail safe is set but when i just turn off the transmitter all servos stay where they are.
second time just 1 week ago: another glider, flying happily and same dive behavior and plane luckily recovered. i thought it was maybe a down draft in the hills but way would it go in a real dive as if pushing down the elevator? after inspecting the plane i thought i found an issue with a lose vtail mount which allowed the vtail to slide along the fuselage. obviously nit good, so i fixed it thought that was it and following 5 flights or so where fine.
today i flew again and again the sudden dive happened and luckily i could recover just before crashing.
so what can this be?
down drafts don't seem to really explain the sudden dive
losing RC link should leave the servos in place and not cause the dive
any ideas what be great because it makes me very uncomfortable
btw: transmitter is a multiplex EVO 16 with XPS RF module
thanks

Larger antenna |

Jim,
I have an airplane with a narrow fuselage that is filled with a motor, ESC, motor battery, X10+RFU and servos. The fuse also has a large metal landing gear bracket for the two main wheels. I had signal blocking problems with this airplane with two different radio systems, including XPS.
Even when I placed the receiver antennas away (as much as I could in the small fuse) from those interfering parts and oriented them at 90 degrees to each other, there were still angles at which the receiver couldn't see the transmitter. I would experience momentary lockouts until the airplane's orientation changed enough for the receiver antenna to come back into view of the transmitter.
I eventually placed one of the RFU antennas facing vertically down and sticking though the bottom of the fuse and this solved the RF blocking problem. However, the little nub sticking out under the fuse sometimes gets knocked around by the occasional rock, or I bend it if I pick up the fuse by grabbing it at the wrong spot.
I ideally would like to locate a Nano or RFU back near the tail, away from the main part of the fuse. Regrettably the fuse is narrow back there and it would challenging to install the Nano or RFU and route the antennas. I could put a Nano or RFU out near a wingtip, but I can't run the serial cable to it because the wing is sealed.
Is it possible to have an alternative "larger" antenna than the standard "one inch" elements? Could a longer wire antenna be tuned to receive the 2.4GHz signal? I'm thinking of something like an old school 72MHz 39 inch wire antenna that could run from the back of the canopy out to the top of the tail fin.
(This is kind of an ironic request, given that for almost twenty years we've enjoyed the convenience of installing small 2.4GHz receivers with their tiny antennas and not having to deal with long wire antennas.)
Thanks,
Paul
