    Hello Chris, yes and I have a set of "kit" plans which unfortunately do not show the section of rib W7 but will compromise or hopefully somebody can assist. I have very recently built the Barronet by Svenson and it was a straightforward build and flies a treat. The Vicomte appears to have the same omission with the rudder as no provision was made for the elevator movement, but easily overcome. I may also make the winner as the next model on.

    in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans

    Having just renovated my Maricardo i am eliminating this model, however I would say it is an absolute cracker and worthy of a build.

    My vote is for the Baron 1914 (free 'Svenson Vicomte 1915' ) particularly as I have plans and is my next build

    I have also just scratch build the http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=7838 which is a smaller version of the Baron and found it a simple build and an absolute delight to fly.

    At moment in Spain for another 4 weeks and can't wait to get home and start building.

    Thanks Steve for info.Having had a good search on the web it appears that Vsped is required to provide the varying tones. I had a look into the log of previous flights and this is not recorded which suggests thats what my problem is. Will just set up to give audible indication of hight for the time being.

    Will order current Rx and vario to resolve problem. Off on hols for a time so will be later on in the year.

    Thanks to all who have assisted and hopefully my assuimption is correct

    Really enjoying the Taranis as it gets the mind thinking.

    I agree with what you say but sometimes you just have to doodle around for a cause and effect.

    I stripped everything out and just left vario but still have the constant beeping when activated. I then put Alt on the telemetry screen along with a function to provide audible height which both worked suggesting to me the vario is ok

    I put Vsped on the same screen and during a test flight it never moved which suggests that this is where my problem is. Will have another look to see if I have missed a switch somewhere.

    As an aside I got an Orange Tx module and have bound in two models that were Orange and Spectrum on DSM2 so at least making progress.

    Thanks for that Phil. Gave it a try but all I get is a constant beeping. Height is indicated audibly and visually so will need to try some other combination.

    What i have noticed, although possibly not relevant, is that you have a total 13 pages whereas I only have 12. Software version is Ver. 2.0.1 dated 6-6-2014. Should this be updated through Companion?

    I have a number of other questions but will wait until i have resolved this one.

    New to the Taranis but enjoying playing around with the various options etc. However I appear to have hit a brick wall in trying to get sink and climb tones. I have the older style vario connected to a hub which I have been able to accept height readings and get these announced. This suggests to me that the vario is working. My settings are as follows

    Telemetry

    Vario source -4, -0.6, 0.1, 3

    Logical switches

    L2 a

    L3 a>x, Vsped, 0.3, SD (down)

    L4 OR, L2, L3 SD (down)

    Special functions

    L4 Vario

    Any help will be gratefully received.
