    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.

    Steve, do you have different tones for rise and sink? If so, give us the secret please

    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 info Bob. Now on 2.0.10 but will delve no further due to lack of knowledge.

    Updated to 2.0.8 last night, which was very easy to do. Tx now shows updated version, however no screen 13 ??????

    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.

    Thanks for that Andy. Will try tomorrow in this Indian summer we are having. Off to Spain next week for three months in motorhome so may take a glider to catch thermals
  10. Hamish
    Yes, I have a switch simply to proved Vario and it works ok.

    Flight 1. Thanks, I have that option in but it only give altitude. I was hoping to get different tones for sink and climb.
  12. Hamish
    Yes I have selected Vsped in telemetry Misprint for L2 L2 a<x, Vsped, -0.3, SD (down) Will try various options. Thank for your help
  13. Hamish
    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.

    Just secure the wheel so that it does not move and you will find you can control easily enough with the rudder. I consider the steering front wheel just an un-necessary complication unless you want to do precision manouvers on the ground.

    Current can be expressed as Amps, milliamps etc and is still the same in the power calculation you just need to remember to move the decimal point 1 amp = 1000mA, 1mA = 0.001 amps. So whats the point Masher?

    When I set up a power train I always test with the watt meter to ensure the battery is adequate as is the ESC andd that I do not overload the motor. ESC are always way above what is needed

    I would assume it will depend what you are going to use the motor for. I fly gliders off a flat field and have used nothing but cheap Turnigy and have never been disappointed. I also have an Inovator trainer, why? and it is again powered by Turnigy. I understand that in performance flying then there may be a need? to spend more money. Its all a matter of choice where some spend mega bucks but I am a tight fisted Scot and do it on a budget.

    My appologies Ross, I had not checked and assumed it was an outrunner

    Remove circlip from front and pull motor appart. Place rotor on a piece of wood with shaft through hole in wood. Make sure allen screw is slack and use a centre punch to knock through. Start with light taping of punch

    I am awaiting a delivery from HK so will check as suggested. In making this order I was browsing a motor when a pop-up appeared offering me a discount if I bought now, which I proceeded to do. On receipt of the final invoice, having paid, I noted that this was out of stock and as such could have delayed whole order. Contacted HK and in view of possible delay asked if they could remove item as I had only purchased through pop-up. Item has been removed and credit given with very little trouble and as said awaiting delivery. Never been taxed on any order but this one is $136 so will wait and see. There will allways be problems and Peter's appears a bit unfair but so far I have been lucky. Pity UK did not hold a greater range of products

    As other posters I have left Tx switched on and lost settings fortunately showing up on pre-flight checks. Pays to check every time but easy forgotten.

    Over the years I have used HK and it normally takes 2/3 weeks from HK. Unfortunately they delivered once in 5 days and I was unavailable to take delivery and PO returned to HK. After a few emails with HK parcel was reposted with no problems. Deliveries from HK,UK are within 2/3 days and my only criticism is they use Parcelforce whose track and trace is absoluely useless and do not expect a sensible reply if you complain as they do not understand english. Recently purchased two models from HK UK and cannot fault the material or build quality, how they do it amazes me.
