LED lights on arms..

[Jekyll]

Good day!

I have a quick question: one of the two led lights (white) will turn on when I am at home, or when I am setting it up but during flight it is out. It doesn't flash or anything. Now it is cold when I have flown - about 0 degrees Celsius .

Every time I power up the Typhoon at home all the lights come on - when I fly this one light is out!

Thoughts?

Sounds like something is loose.

its weird - I checked the lights before I left home all worked - I flew today - one was out!!!

A mystery...did you fly it or did Hyde?

OK, when you tested it, did you try moving that arm up and down? Like Pat says, an intermittent, loose connection.

Never heard that one LOL - I think that the earlier suggestion is correct - it seems the connection was a bit lose.

Regarding LED arm lights ... should the white lights be flashing when flying or solid?
MDH noticed yesterday they were solid when grounded but flashing after takeoff.
I've got 6hrs up and can't say I've noticed previously if they are flashing or solid. Because I've not noticed I'm thinking they're solid all the time.
So, if they're flashing instead of solid - what does that mean?
Searched around but not found any thing explanitory so going back to the manual and asking.

Never seen mine flashing, I'm thinking Now!

Worked it out! White LED arm flashing = Obstacle Avoidance in ON - Pg 23 of the manual
