I am having an issue and am not sure why it is happening.
I switch flightcontrollers from librepilot revolution to the pixhawk. I also have the 915mhz telemtry radio other those 2 things everything on my quad is the same. I am running a frsky xjt moduel and x6r rx. Never had an issue with dropping connection with the revolution FC.
It never happened in flight so far but i only have a couple tuning flights. On the pixhawk so far. There have been a few times where the transmitter wouldnt connect to the rx i would move the transmitter around and it would finally link up.
Well i was just outside auto tuning the pitch axis and everything was going well i went to correct some drift and no response. I didnt even get a voice alert telling me that signal was lost. I was 10ft from my quad. It ended up crashing into my neighbors house broke 2 props and knocked my gps puck off the mast. Thank god nothing else broke. I have over 1k in this thing and that would have sucked.
So my question is obvious why am i losing my link to my rx with the pixhawk? I didnt set up failsafes yet because i am not flying more than 20 feet from myself, like i said i am tuning and testing. Didnt think i would need them quite yet. Rx is powered from pixhawk. Pixhawk is powered from power module. Any ideas on this?

Well just found out that the crash destroyed one of my motors. It has an internal short now. Not sure why I am having issue with RX connectivity with the pixhawk but oh well I guess. Quad is grounded till I can get new motors! Sucks ass!
