Subject: [RCSE] Shadow Receiver
Test
Well, the foot of snow we had on Sunday is gone, the flying
field is dry and the temp was about 60, so it was a good day to get out at
lunchtime and do some tests.
My new Shadow 3 was put in my
beater ICON and range tested. It showed slightly better range than
the hitec superslim that was in it before. All directions were good
so I launched and specked it out and no problems were observed.
My buddy Mike Verzuh came along and slammed his 57 module in and we
were going to see how in handled interference. We were very
impressed. As long as I was a few feet closer to the model, I had
full control, as we got next to each other the receiver would kick into
failsafe.
I set the failsafe to 3/4 landing mode (flaps and
elevator comp) and some left rudder. I got some altitude and turned
off the transmitter. There were no glitches or wierdness - it simply
put the flaps down and started a slow circling descent. I let it run
for about 30 seconds, then turned back on and control was instantly
back.
All in all very impressive for a PPM
receiver.
