Sorry to hear of your crash.Some Futaba adios can be set to askyou what model you want every time you switch the TX on.

I had a similar crash when I first started with my quad because I had inadvertently set it to 'simple' mode. It flew ok in front of me but when I circled around to turn the other way all the controls were of course then reversed.

So, it's not just your radio settings that can get you, so check the config settings thoroughly too.

On that note, I've seen a few disaster posts now that have revealed people having non-standard config settings when they post their logs. Would it be an idea for the Mission Planner software to have a 'Check my settings' function in the config area where it compares your settings to defaults for your platform and warns you of anything non-standard in there?

Yeah I have the Futaba 8FG and you can set it to require that you pick the model when you power it on.. that would have come in handy for you.

Yea, some kind of indicator on the radio would be nice. A 'Ringtone" on radio boot for each model would be nice, or if it talked to you. Picking your model like futaba would be a nice feature too. Oh well. Growing pains I guess.
