SOLVED!!!
can you believe it?
after 8 long weeks, one return to 3dr and many attempts at solving I HAVE FLOWN.
Solution - was to reverse the throttle on the Turnigy TGY 9x tx AT the transmitter, NOT in Mission Planner
(I hate reversing throttle in any p

Hi,
I have almost the same problem as droter and kbcopter in this forum. My observations:
One of the 3DR radios (433 mhz vers.) seems to be ok but I am not sure. It flashes the green LED, but the red LED is NOT flashing upon power up. It seems to respo
