So we need to figure out what is happening in your setup. Please do the procedures in the videos below, then just have a servo and your Dragon Link running while you watch TV or do something else. Leave it running for hours, if the system goes into failsafe, you will hear the servo move. This is an easy way to put the system through a very good test, over hours, without having to waste time watching it. If it is a problem with your system, you know it is fully guaranteed and we will fix it for free Mike

Are you having a problem with noise or interference ? If so, this can usually be traced to something in the plane, and easily fixed. Mike |

Who says you need to go long range to have fun
DL / EZ UHF, on 1.3 to boot.

Ive had it running for quite some time now , and no failsafes kicked in (outside of the plane).
What ive done is calibrate it again , and changed ID. Installed it back in the plane , and just did a range test in micro power mode , and got 32 meters with all electronics on except HoryzonHD. With HoryzonHD ON i got 23 meters. From what I understand , thats still an acceptable range in micro power? Quote:

30 paces, is what i get. 1 pace = 1 meter ish... with just RX and servo. I get the same with everything installed in plane as well. (bixler).
Did the RX and servo for the test with my wing. Was the same. I haven't done a "in plane test yet" I just went with the ground test and flew. Seems that horyzon cam is spewing noise! |

Yes, the Horyzon cam is known to spew a lot of noise harmful to 433Mhz UHF systems.
Same with all the other attempts at HD fpv cameras with detached heads. The noise comes from the camera head and ribbon cable. Some wrap copper tape around everything and cut the noise a bit, but it makes the ribbon less flexible and thus harder to use on a P&T mount. motofox, from what I've seen 20-40 paces is what you should expect, not 20ft. If your micro-power range test is only 20ft, you've probably got something broken or defective. Check continuity on antennas, SMA connectors on the Tx and Rx.. etc. ian |

Walk off between 20 and 30ft holding the DragonLink transmitter as you go. If the aircraft is placed on a table, you should start to see a failsafe around 20-30ft. If the range before failsafe is much shorter than this, you have a problem with your configuration and you must check this before flight. e. If you surpass this distance without a consistent failsafe, you are OK for flight. coppied from online manual... you had me worried lol |

It turned out to be the BEC of the ESC I was using. I bought castle creations 20A UBEC and I have never gotten a failsafe since. |
