I've used Spektrum receivers for the most part and tried an RX700T which may or may not have had an issue. I'm trying to figure out what caused me to lose the airplane a Freewing 6S Hawk T1 “Red Arrow” High Performance 70mm on the maiden flight. I've seen that some Admiral's should be mounted flat, but I'm assuming that's for gyro receivers and not this one. Is that correct? Mine was not flat. I lost the ability to control the aircraft shortly into the takeoff roll and all controls went non responsive. After it left the ground it wound up smashing into the ground upside down at full throttle. I was able to kill the power with the throttle cut off switch. Odd that the throttle cutoff worked and the other controls did not. Used the transmitter all day before and after with the Freewing L-39 without issue, but that one has a Spektrum receiver.
The only other thing I can think of is on the first attempted takeoff the impeller separated at rotation and chewed up the inside a bit. I guess technically that was the maiden. At first glance I don't see any wires chewed up etc. but will have to look further. I should have been able to mount the receiver aft of the blue box and not level, is that correct?
