Receiver Menu
All Smooth Flite RRS systems have the added feature of monitoring the connection between the Re-
ceiver and the transmitter. This can be used to assist in the optimal placement of your receivers dur-
ing setup.
We will now go through a process of how to check the quality of the connection between your
receiver and your transmitter.
Using the Smart Display, from the MAIN MENU tap the RECEIVER button. This will take you to the
receiver page.
From the receiver page you can see the receiver FRAMES received for each individual receiver, these
indicate good packets of information sent from the receiver to the Smooth Flite or received by the
receiver from the transmitter. You can also see DROPS , these are packets have been received by the
Re-
Note: If the number of DROPS (dropped
frames) is unusually high, it may indicate
there is a problem with that receiver or
receiver placement inside the model.
NOTE: It is quite normal to see these numbers
with values higher than 0 however, if you are
experiencing extremely high drop ratios,
please consult your receiver manufacturer for
more details on receiver placement.
The third column shows FAILSAFE (Fail Safe events PER RECEIVER) this value shows the number of failed -
to - send events from a receiver to the Smooth Flite i.e. the Smooth Flite was expecting to receive frames
but the receiver stopped sending them.
If you experience high numbers in FAILSAFE events during ground testing or after landing do not fly
the model until you understand what has caused them.
Powering down the transmitter before powering down the model WILL cause the Smooth Flite to
show accumulate FAILSAFE events because the Smooth Flite can no longer see signal from the trans-
mitter.
Information: The Smooth Flite redundant receiver design is evolved from medical system information
delivery that must guarantee only good data is used. As such Smooth Flite listens to all receivers all
the time. This algorithm ensures only good frames are used and the fastest frames to control surface
response in the industry.
