Hello I report here a problem I hed with my MC4000 fitted with an HFM3 M-Link module. The problem was essentially a range issue with a temporary loss of control of my glider when it was flying at 400-500m of height. In both cases, the glider recovered from out-of-control and I was able to land safely, but with a lot of scare for everybody at the airfield!
The problem occurred in two different occasions, with two different gliders, in two different airfields, using two different rx (RX9DR & RX12DR PRO). Receivers are new, installed in the models keeping the antennas at 90° and far from metal or carbon. Rx batteries (2x 2S Lipo) were fully charged and in perfect conditions.
After landing, I performed a check with tx in low power mode and I got 40-45m vs. usual range of around 100m. It is like if the range was reduced for some reason!
Another strange thing happened: switching off and then switching on the transmitter, the channel check was emitting the alarm “channel in use”...but I was in 2,4GHz!
I really don’t think so, but can be this a reason of the reduced range???
Many thanks for any feedback and regards to all!
