Orange receiver...it seemed to work OK for quite a few previous flights until I added the Satellite bit for more range...or it could be my new 11ms Frame Rate DX7se is incompatible with this cheap receiver...who knows. I think I will get a new airframe and start again. This plane is too much fun to give up on it just yet.

Hi John
Not sure if people with the new DX8 and DX7se DSMX are aware of this.
I have the DX8 and I lost 3 planes because of a DSM2 compatibility issue. My orange receivers used to bind but when I land they come up blinking, the same happened with AR6100. This was a sign of brown outs while flying. The 3 planes I lost because I lost control for 3-4 seconds then it comes back, but it was too late for these. This sounds like what is happening to you.
Then Spektrum agreed with us on RC groups that there was a problem (DSM2 backwards compatibility hold issue), and sent out a re-call on all DSMX controllers. DX8, DX7se, DX6i etc. I sent mine back for service and now its seems to be working very well.
Did you register your TX on the Spektrum website? If you did you would have got an email but I suggest you check this link.http://publications.horizonhobby.com/read/archive?id=3714&e=staroscik%40gmail.com&x=c3f6f1f1
