Hi.

I did not get any reply from Art since last year...some rumors out there if the issue is fixed?

By the way...is it save to fly with this issue? Does anybody have some problems during flight?

Cheers,
Nils

I would not fly with this configuration until its fixed. I did loose control of my model as a result. I got lucky and control was returned before the model hit the ground. Last I heard on this was from December and a fix was being tested.

Mhh, there should be an official advice about this if it could be critical.

Bumpin this thread up for some possible attn./info. Still have two S7008sb rx's I would like to use on projects. Don't really want to buy 2 new rx's..... hav

I still wouldn't use them, I flew my x4ii with one and it kept freezing in whatever attitude I had it ion for around 1/2 a flip before giving me back control, very disconcerting,

I am in contact with Art and waiting for a beta for testing. Actually I would not fly with this receivers.

The part I struggled with is having to downgrade to a non-telemetry Rx. The 7003 and 7008 have built-in pack and Rx voltage. I don't want have to buy less capable receiver for the short term and have no use for it down the road.

I had a similar experience and would definitely not fly a model with the Skookum until the issues with the Skookum are fixed.

Good to know....hopefully soon. I never even attempted a flight with these rxs'. The lockouts during set-up was the first indicator to me that something was amiss. That sent me searching, and of course to the threads on this issue. Thanks for the info.... HAV

Hi guys.

I got a beta firmware today and the issue with Fasstest seems to be fixed. I got no frame losses anymore but tested it on the bench only. Now we have to wait for the final release. Looking forward to activate telemetry for my SK720 machines. :-)
