"I solved the problem when I changed transmitter FRAMERATE from 22ms to 11ms (better described few posts above). Is this an interesting findings in the work to try to permanently solve the problem?"

"I had exactly same symptoms with APM2.5 and 2.9.1. Using Spectrum DX8 and PWM. I think I have solved the problem when I went to the Transmitter SYSTEM SETUP menu and changed FRAMERATE (from 22ms) to 11 ms. Have tried a lot of times now without…"
