RCHA event. brownouts

[brin]

There were a few brown outs at the electric end of the line up at least thats what it looked like.does this mean we are at the limit of dsm2.

For info i used DSM2 I was the second from the end at the Nitro end! I thought I may have problems binding but everything was fine throughout both flights.
just to add JR DSX9v2 and TT Ace GT5.1 with 2 DSM2 sats!
hope this helps.

From what I heard it was only Spectrum radio users??

Ross and Don had one but I think there were 3 others?

what i did notice was the nitro end was far more spread out .we at the other end ended up stagering helis with the pilots at just about arms length.this may have had something to do with it.

Yep one of them was me on dsm2. It's the first such issue I've had and it happened after sitting on the deck for at least 30 mins without activity and I did the first attempt which was aborted with no probs. we then had the second attempt and it started playing up about 45 seconds in. The heli started to move away from me slowly and as I gave correction input it just didn't respond. It took another ten or so seconds before the motor cut and it autoed itself down.

It was strange to say the least...........but at least it touched down just 1 second after the minute mark ....job done lol

I spoke to Shauny and he said one of the guys was futaba ?? Maybe he will chip in

I noticed that too, several friends were at the electric end and commented on how close they all were. At the nitro end we just kept walking and seemed to spread out quite naturally, the guys on either side of me, one was wild wake had 700n's and somehow we all gave each other plenty of room!!!

Ross was on dsmx and his Heli fell from the air inverted!

[brin]

I thought dsmx was armour plated and you could have many many more in the air at the same time.

DSM2 mate.

[heathy]

DSM2 mate.

Really, on a dx18??

[Nick B]

Yes,think all his other models were dsmx but had no packs ready.

[GIXERMAN]

I was using dsx11 with dsm2 for all attempts, without problems, only problem I had with my radio was on for 50 minutes

[heathy]

Why would he do such a thing? Seems odd that all other Helis were on dsmx / dx18 / v bar and the x5 wasn't.

50 seconds into the first WR hover attempt my Protos 500 on DSM2 / DX8 combo drifted off to the right with no response then motor cut and fell to the ground.

We were right on top of each other in the electric line up near the middle.
