Error's after flight with 74" Pilot RC Slick

I am including the log file as well as a couple of screen shots of post flight message in the log. The flight seemed fine and no erratic flight was noticed. It was 11min flight with a couple of landings in there as well. Flight consisted of a few loops and rolls and Knife edge passes. After i landed i got the "RC INPUT PACKETS LOST" followed by "ELEVATOR OUT OF RANGE" 15min later. Plane is running a GP 38 gas engine and MKS 777A servos on all the surfaces. Also 2 x 3300 2S lipo flight packs.

Is this something of concern?

For the packets: Please check antenna orientation and NEO mounting place (probably too close on motor), do a range test, use probably a 2nd Slave NEO and ensure that the ignition does not disturb the radio.

The sensor - sure it happened in flight? Which maneuver? Or may it be from a landing?

Hey RV, like i said it was nothing special for the flight. Knife edge was as fancy as it got. Maybe the elevator message was when I landed, but why would a landing trigger that message? I run VPlane in several gas and electric planes and that is not a regular occurance.

In regards to the lost packet comment my ignition is mounted outside the motorbox under the cowl, the Neo is as far back in the fuse as possible - almost behind the canopy.

Mike

Hello Mike,

if a landing is a bit harsh - the sensors will register a too high rate as they can measure. Just try with tipping on a NEO with the finger and then read the log.

About the Failsafe - could you please add some photos?
