I had the remote receiver on a 6200 to fail a quick ground test, but its
light was on. It was broadcasting with sharply reduced power. (Horizon
replaced the receivers.) We may need to test (off the ground) on at
least two axis (front and side) before flying each day to catch any
problems with two receivers.

I have personally benefited from the hundreds of suggestions
offered by members of RCSE. Thanks to Mike for all his work over the
years. Please keep it going.
Soaring related: Several months ago I install a 2.4 system in my
Super AVA. I use a DX7 transmitter, a RD 9000 receiver with the
satellite receivers installed in the center section outboard of the
spoilers. This system has worked flawlessly until last week.
Following an uneventful high start launch, I experienced intermittent
control problems with the system locking out or rebooting as some
say. I was able to land the model safely and do some trouble
shooting. I immediately noticed that one of the satellite receivers
did not have a light on. The other one did. Of course the main
receiver is buried in the fuse and does not receive any signal because
of CF/Kevlar construction.
Rebinding the system to the transmitter reactivated the
inoperative satellite and the system has functioned successfully at
altitudes of 2000 feet and to limits of my visual range.
For me this illustrated the necessity of installing the satellite
receivers so that their operation can be verified by observing the light.
Of course this may be obviated with the new 2.4 friendly AVA pods.
Long live RCSE!
