@@ChaddyFPV After looking at the video in slow mo, the first rx loss episode was followed by a battery low warning first and I am using the 18650 4s pack I've made. ruclips.net/video/Y4CmVSJvJQ8/видео.html I am also using a 6 inch quad capable of up to 6s and it may have needed more amps than the battery could provide.

Awesome Pete! Nice that they come flashed already with RSSI. It always rubs me the wrong way that every time I buy an XMPlus I have to flash rssi (which is such a pain). Just bought 4 of these :) Way to go Pete! We love you man! Happy Holidays!
Nice flying Pete, I was able to use LiftOff with my TX16S. I normally fly in normal mode but I can only use Acro with the sim and man it is very different.
Hey mate, just wondering, can the receiver work with any controller, you were using the word radio master a lot so I didn’t want to get it with the lite radio 2 and it won’t work, thanks
I installed mine on the tinyhawk freestyle2 so I could fly with the insta360go with confindence, 300meters is my first warning, I could only get about 80 to 90 meters with the spi receiver when carrying the insta cam. Well worth getting👍
Maybe it's just me but i don't like all the touching of the solid state components witgh metal, you say tou don't know what it is and touch it? Other than that, good info, thanks. DP

I got a weird problem man. My rssi pad was working great. I updated to BF 4.1 using an xm+ in my receiver tab I see the rssi channel #12 showing the rssi value moving, but in the setup tab it's locked at 9% In the reciever tab every time I try and select the aux channel for the rssi channel to 12 because thats the one that shows the rssi movement. I click save and it will revert it back to disabled every time.... I'm stumped man
So, you are using the xm+ receiver? You have a weird problem. Which I think I've had at one point long time ago. Not BF4.1 but something like 3.7 or before that. I either reflashed the receiver or changed receiver. Question, do you need to have the rssi pad connected? I only have the signal, ground and 5v connected on all my xm+ receivers and rssi works fine.
@@RCEscape yes, very weird... No Rssi pad. It was working fine before the update. I just don't see how BF would affect it. I even put a new pair of antennas. My next option is just to switch over to the R8 RX... I'm tired of the B.S. that comes with FrSky XM+ lately
@@RCEscape that's exactly what I have on mine just the standard 3 cables. It worked fine yesterday and just stopped reading above 9% I'll switch over to another reciever tomorrow and see how that goes. Thx man 🤜

This would be your alternative or better yet a replacement for the FrSky xm or xm plus receivers for builds you don't use for long range and at $7.99 it is very affordable.
Of course CRSF is better but it also cost 4 times as much. If is for whoop and you don’t need long range. This have its purpose too :) where as CRSF have its own. Personally I use CRSF on my 5” and D8 on whoop
@@joevo2 Depends on if you value your time. The other day I spent many hours assembling a new build with a frsky rx4r on a F4 flight controller and on the maiden the quad dead dropped from 20 ft after 30 seconds and broke the vtx. Luckily I had the goggles recording to find out it did give a rx loss message (while being 20 ft from me). After many more hours and another new rx4r I was able to consistently recreate the issue on the bench and there was some issue with s.port wire causing it. Clip that and it was fine. Installed a crsf micro v2 and no problems. Now, was it something specific to the flight controller? Was it the multiprotocol module or its firmware on my radiomaster? Was it the accst firmware on the frsky receiver? Everything was up to date. With that said the crsf just worked. I keep being retaught this lesson.
@@spyder000069 to be fair crsf had been great for me. But I too had one fail safe. What I’m trying to say is that no system is fool proof. Just use whatever you can afford and are comfortable with. Like I said personally I’m happy with crsf and using it on my 5” and toothpick but for whoop since most have lower powered vtx d8 is sufficient for me.
I hate these thing what a pain in the behind everyone is different. The interface is a pain. Then on top of it all you can not put it down it starts beeping and beeping,...where is my hammer?
I see in your video you maxed out at around 1km range? But I've seen the i6x go to about 2km range even though its suited to a couple hundred meters. Why is this?

Got this same reciever and trying to figure out how to wire it to my fc. I assume ground to any available ground pad and same with the 5v, but where do I connect the sbus wire on my fc? Somebody please help me lol.
So what you gotta do is search online for a pin out diagram of your fc. That’ll tell you where.
@@RCEscape I have a pinout diagram that came with the FC, but there is no "SBUS" tab on the FC anywhere. Am I supposed to hook the SBUS wire to somewhere else on the FC?

what empty pads does it have?
@@RCEscape TX/RX 1-4, four 5.2v pads, two 10v pads, vout, ca1 and ca2, rssi, a few grounds, ch5 and ch6, sda, slc, and an led strip pad.

What kind of flight controller is this? What is the name of it?
Is it safe to fly using D8 protocol?
Why do you ask?
I heard it was forbidden in Europe. Is that correct?
@@lleston8927
I'm not very familiar with the legality of use but there are tutorials on using it so I'm assuming it is ok.
Does this have uninverted sbus?
I asked Radiomaster but haven't got a response yet. I'll update :)
@@RCEscape thanks a lot! Appreciate it
@@RCEscape seems like it’s outputting uninverted sbus. Did you wire it to your fc sbus pad or uart? Is it an F4 FC?
@@joevo2
You are right. It is an uninverted sbus output by the receiver.
@@RCEscape you tested it yourself? What did you wire yours to? Was it an F7 FC that’s why it didn’t matter?
You can't scratch losing the Drone using this receiver.
But its not crsf . Crsf is the best reciever out there
where did he say its CRS fire ?? or you just entering random information which has nothing to do with the video or a D8 receiver ?
This would be your alternative or better yet a replacement for the FrSky xm or xm plus receivers for builds you don't use for long range and at $7.99 it is very affordable.
Of course CRSF is better but it also cost 4 times as much. If is for whoop and you don’t need long range. This have its purpose too :) where as CRSF have its own. Personally I use CRSF on my 5” and D8 on whoop
@@joevo2 Depends on if you value your time. The other day I spent many hours assembling a new build with a frsky rx4r on a F4 flight controller and on the maiden the quad dead dropped from 20 ft after 30 seconds and broke the vtx. Luckily I had the goggles recording to find out it did give a rx loss message (while being 20 ft from me). After many more hours and another new rx4r I was able to consistently recreate the issue on the bench and there was some issue with s.port wire causing it. Clip that and it was fine. Installed a crsf micro v2 and no problems. Now, was it something specific to the flight controller? Was it the multiprotocol module or its firmware on my radiomaster? Was it the accst firmware on the frsky receiver? Everything was up to date. With that said the crsf just worked. I keep being retaught this lesson.
@@spyder000069 to be fair crsf had been great for me. But I too had one fail safe.
What I’m trying to say is that no system is fool proof. Just use whatever you can afford and are comfortable with.
Like I said personally I’m happy with crsf and using it on my 5” and toothpick but for whoop since most have lower powered vtx d8 is sufficient for me.
I hate these thing what a pain in the behind everyone is different. The interface is a pain. Then on top of it all you can not put it down it starts beeping and beeping,...where is my hammer?
Will this work with the tyro79?
yes it will work with all betaflight boards and more.
@@RCEscape Ok perfect looking at getting the tx12 remote for the tyro79 I just bought
I see in your video you maxed out at around 1km range? But I've seen the i6x go to about 2km range even though its suited to a couple hundred meters. Why is this?
@@madladdan
it will greatly depend on the terrain and location.
@@RCEscape Ah I see
