I haven't tried it but doesn't Xtreme Power's spread spectrum module have a
downlink?

Someone smarter than I should invent a black (orange) box for post
analysis. lol Hmmm.. now to make it light as a feather .. The Brits send
all their data to ground as it occurs in flight.

Too bad it was the Brio with the Atwood scheme . . . . . . you could come
up with a new plane in the Andrew Jesky scheme pretty easily (for a price).
:)
My KM Star went in on landing approach a couple of years ago and I still
don't know why . . . the radio system worked when everything was plugged
back together. I am flying other stuff with the receiver and servos, I
tossed the battery and switch. You may never know why it went in. Too bad
there is no "CSI" video to watch after the fact.

In that regard I have become a HUGE fan of using 1/2" thin wall shrink wrap
tubing to secure all of my permanent connections. ALL of them were intact
after the crash and in one case (Throttle servo) the connector stayed
connected to the extension, but the wire harness ripped out of the connector
into the Rx. Ugly...

I sympathize. My Evolution went in on the second flight. I hadn't even flown
it; a more experienced pilot was checking it out for me. Went into a lake
where the engine still rests. I did salvage the FASST radio and the digital
servos - that part floated.
Looks like the battery connection was bad. Never again will I fly w/o safety
clips on all of the servo extensions and battery.

Mark,
Sorry to hear about your loss of the Brio.
It always seems twice as bad when it happens to a new
plane and you cannot put your finger on what caused the
problem.

Hey All,
Had a bad day with a new Brio at the flying field. 9th or 10th total
flight...just starting to get it trimmed out, first maneuver of F-07,
downline snap, about to push to inverted...and nothing. :( Not sure what
happened...no interference. Battery was checked prior to the flight, but
had 0 voltage afterwards. Haven't checked the system for a short
yet...crash was brutal though, so hard to know what was cause, and what was
result.
Amazing the sound these planes make when they crunch. Complete carnage in a
newly plowed cornfield.
Anyhow, now that I'm done drying my tears, I need a good backup plane.
Preferably something similar to the Brio, (Ideally another Brio). Anyone
have something that's built and ready for a 1.60DZ (that I'll need to
rebuild too, since the crash torn the side off the crankcase!!)
If so, please contact me off list! Atwoodm at paragon-inc.com
Thanks!
Mark
