Hi Tilman,
Do you have config snippets perhaps?
I can't quite picture how you did that.
It was a long time ago, before I could get a decent radio :)
I completely misremembered how I did it in the previous email, sorry.
However, looking at a radio file I remembered I did it via messing
around with the neutral & max:
<channel ctl="6" function="MODE" min="1100" neutral="1500"
max="2001" average="1"/> MAN/AUTO2
<channel ctl="6" function="MODE" min="1100" neutral="1250"
max="1500" average="1"/> MAN/AUTO1
Please let me know if it still works, it may not have been exactly how
I did it but it was along those lines.
Also, this was a long time ago (5-6 years). Something may have
changed in the code since then.
Huh, thanks for digging this out.
But I'm not sure what it will mean. If you could perhaps help me make
sense of it.
I suppose it's using different ranges on the same channel. To make sure
the switch lies well in the range.
But between which modes will it switch? I first understood you mean
between MANUAL and AUTO2. But that does not quite seem to be what it
will do.
Penny has not dropped yet.
True, I think if I see it crash I rather go in manual and try to
glide it down.And the prop is not really a problem in my Bixler as it
is at the back and off the ground.
Indeed - I've only ever broken one Bixler prop.
In very high winds, at about 30m, the main spar snapped, the wing came
off and the spar flipped back round into the prop.
That Bixler is still flying today with only a replacement spar and prop.
My friend just managed to loose his wings in some high G manoeuvres with
his Bixler. Seems to be a bit of a weak point.
If you haven't already, I would definately recommend upgrading the
stock prop to an APC 6x4. The improvement is incredible.
Indeed. The whole stock setup is a bit whimsical.
Also, you can get a Turnigy/FlySky 9x transmitter for £60 if you are
on a serious budget. Add an FrSky TX module + receiver and you've got
out of the box PPM output.

Isn't that the one that is identical/compatible to the Turnigy 9x? With
alternative firmwares available.
Great to have a local source for that. Lead times at HobbyKing are too
annoying.
I suppose you added the V8R7-SP receiver to the list because it is
compatible and has ppm?

Yea, I'm beginning to think that ppm might be indeed more practical.
I love the digitalness of my Spektrum setup. But it is so far causing me
more headache than it helps.
I bought this Spektrum transmitter when those chinese brands where not
quite so established. At least I had not heard much about them. Cost at
least twice as much as a Trunigy and is only five channel.
Don't really feel like spending money on thinks that I already have.
And yes, budget is very tight right now. Would hate to have to wait just
