Something strange happened this morning. I was flying my Vortex 250 Pro and finished the 1st battery and landed it. After disconnecting the battery and plugging in the next battery, I started to get a steady beep. I noticed that the menu on the OSD of my goggles was displaying. I could kind of control it but it seems like it was hap-hazard.
After testing for a while, it somehow went into TX search mode. I had to plug the quad into my computer and set the TX from AutoDiscover to Spektrum 2400. Once I did that, it went into the setup wizard.
I was having trouble getting past the wizard and it seemed that the elevator/yaw control on the TX was the problem Nothing I did in setup made a difference. I was concerned that maybe this was an issue with the RX since I had done a premature landing (i.e. crash) into some wet grass. I don't think the crash had any effect because after that I was able to re-arm and fly a normal flight on my first battery.
Next, I tried using the same TX (a Spektrum Dx6i by the way) with 2 other quads. One is a Blade QX-250 and the other is an Inductrix FPV. The flight controls on both of these were way off and it seems that there was no Yaw control.
My guess is that something fried in the TX. I've had it for quite a few years.
My question is this...
If it seems like this is the issue, I was going to upgrade anyway. If I go with another type like a Taranis, what RX would you recommend? The other thing I was looking into was a Dx9 but they are pretty pricy.
Any suggestions or advice?
