Just purchased my DS16 and the A-4 will be the 1st ship on this new set. Absolutely love the flexibility and command this radio has.
The best!

I use the taranis x9D and have zero signal issues.
Did you use a receiver that had been in a crash? Did you ever check rssi (taranis shows rssi) before flying?
Take care.

We had several folks at the field that had similar problems - must have been a bad batch of equipment. Jeti will be the last system I will ever need.

I'm not sure if this link will work (posting from work) - here's short video my buddy shot of my Scooter landing yesterday. I cut the throttle... and it just glided .... and glided... all the way down the runway and touched down near the end.

So ok, I strung together 4 short clips from one of my flights on Sunday, and uploaded it to YouTube. Now everyone can see my crappy landing! (It wasn't that bad, I just didn't slow down enough!)

The video was at our AMA club field, the Mentor Area Radio Control Society (MARCS) in Geneva OH. The Geotex is about 6-7 years old and is still in excellent shape. I don't remember the exact cost, it wasn't cheap. I want to say $4000 to $8000 but I don't remember. I can try to look it up for you. We purchased three 20'-wide rolls and the runway is 300 feet long. All we did was smooth the dirt and tamp it down first, then the fabric was stapled to the ground using long staples. Each spring we have to go out and press them back in (frost heave) with our shoes. That's exactly what I did two weeks ago!
That price is pretty hefty so we (my dad, brother & I) will keep it hammered flat with a ride on 1-1/2 ton vibratory roller that dad acquired on the cheap(<$250) just for this purpose. :)Warbird Charlie
