Corona/HobbyCity halt FHSS sales after RC Model Reviews' tests reveal bugs


Source:  http://www.rcmodelreviews.com/coronafhssissues.shtml

As soon as I hooked up the Turnigy 9X transmitter module and receivers I purchased from HobbyCity (aka Hobby King) I knew there were problems.
Slow stick deflections produced jerky and jerky movement of the servos
I checked with several different types and brands of servos but the results remained unchanged.
On several occasions I also observed uncommanded movements of one or more servos.
Closer investigation pointed to an issue with the amount of processor power available to perform the various tasks required in such an application and the way the system was hopping.
To cut a long story short, I sent my observations and suspicions as to their cause to Corona and they confirmed them.
Corona has now had a couple of tries at producing a frequency-hopping spread-spectrum system and they've still got work to do.
The current version is close -- but still has some critical issues that really need to be remedied before I could recommend it for safe flying.

The Issues

1. Random/high Latency
A key cause of the erratic and jerky servo-movements associated with slow stick deflections is the very slow data-refresh rate between transmitter and receiver.
In a normal FM radio, the servo position data is sent 50 times per second but in the case of the Corona, even though the transmitter still produces information at this rate, it appears only to be sent to the receiver at a lower rate. In effect, the system is dropping some of the data.
What causes this random/high latency?
It appears that the microcontroller (MCU) chosen by Corona to perform the various tasks required simply doesn't have enough steam to keep up with all those jobs. As a result, it processes only some of the data-frames.
What is the effect to your flying?
If you fly relatively slow sport-type planes then you may never notice the jerkiness and latency this problem creates. However, if you fly very fast models or airplanes with large surfaces/throws (such as used for 3D) then you'll almost certainly find the results undesirable.
2. Uncommanded servo movements
I've not discovered the exact cause of these but they may well also be linked to the overstressed MCU. Because there is only so much processing power available and so much of the work is time-critical, there's a very good chance that every now and then the processor is asked to do two things at once. Clearly it can't do two things at *exactly* the same time and this manifests itself as a slightly stretched servo-pulse or two -- resulting in an uncommanded servo movement.
Corona themselves have confirmed the existence of the bug.
3. Failure to relink
When testing for the lowest voltage at which the receiver would continue to operate, I discovered that sometimes the receiver will simply "go to sleep" and not relink with the transmitter, even once full operating voltage was restored. This is clearly not a good thing.
If you are flying a model with a weak BEC or battery, it's quite possible that the receiver could enter this state when heavy servo loads are experienced.
4. Loss of RF link
It very much appears as if the Corona's FHSS receiver can be confused to the point of losing all contact with the transmitter if/when only a relatively small portion of the band is subjected to high noise levels.
Although there may be as much as 75% of the band unaffected, and although the transmitter continues to hop across that unaffected part of the band, the receiver is unable to extract valid data and all control is lost.
One of the key benefits of a frequency-hopping system is that it should be able to make use of even the smallest interference-free window within the band, the Corona can not. This may be attributed to the receiver processor being overloaded as it attempts to decode the noise as a valid signal -- thus leaving no time for hopping or other essential tasks.

The Bottom Line

People, including myself, have successfully flown the Corona/Turnigy FHSS system so you might ask "are these issues really important?"
The bottom line is that the system does work under average to ideal conditions.
If you fly slow/sport-type models in a noise-free environment with well-charged batteries and/or a decent BEC you may never encounter the effects of these issues.
It's worth remembering that we're talking about a module and receivers that cost only $20 or so. This is not a Futaba FASST system costing hundreds, it is a very bottom-end product with (in its current form) significant limitations. If you are prepared to accept that then you may find the Coronal/Turnigy FHSS system adequate and acceptable value for money.
However, the 2.4GHz band is becoming increasingly busy, not only with RC systems but with all manner of other consumer electronics. A park or flying-site that is relatively quiet today may become noisy enough to cause problems for the Corona/Turnigy FHSS system tomorrow.
Corona are therefore to be highly commended for their decision to withdraw this system from sale until such time as they have remedied the problems. They responded promptly to the issues I uncovered and forwarded to them and that's a responsible move on their part.
Likewise, HobbyCity's offer to refund (less postage) any modules/receivers returned is a reasonable one.
I certainly hope that Corona receiver do sort their issues, the hobby really does need as many good, reliable, robust and well-priced 2.4GHz systems as it can get.

Choosing the right OS glow plug

Getting the best engine performance means choosing the right glow plug, which depends on a number of different factors – the engine type, air–fuel mix, nitro percentage, and even air temperature.
What's more, the right glow plug will change as conditions change. Keeping a range of glow plugs on hand will help you fine–tune glow heat and enjoy maximum performance under all conditions.
Generally, hot plugs provide better idle and acceleration than cold plugs. Cold plugs will produce more power but may idle more roughly and be harder to tune.

Fly Sky FS-TH9X Transmitter Review


The 2.4 GHz price wars are really heating up at the moment now that many Chinese manufacturers have entered the market. For the past few years there have been various 2.4 GHz modules coming out of China, with some decent offering from Corona and Assan, now it seems like the Chinese want to make a name for themselves by offering full systems. The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is the first offering that I decided to check out.
I am a diehard Futaba Fasst fan but I am tired of having to sell a kidney or take out a second mortgage every time I have to buy a new receiver for my fleet. The Fly Sky offerings drew my attention with their sub $20 receivers. The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is offered under various brand names but it is basically the same transmitter.

The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is modular system, so specifications may vary depending on the module you select. The transmitter itself is loaded with features, some of which you will usually only find on some high end transmitters.
  • Number of Channels: 8ch PPM/9ch PCM
  • Display: 128*64 LCD
  • Support Type: Heli/Acro/Glid
  • User Models: 8
  • Stick Modes: 4
  • Encoder Type: PPM/PCM
  • Sub Trim: Yes
  • Simulator Interface: Yes
  • Buzzer: Yes
  • Low Voltage Display: Yes
The menus are clearly and easy to navigate using the 128×64 pixel LCD display. The only issue I had was that the +/- buttons are back to front with the positive on the left.

When the package arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the attention of detail that Fly Sky went to. Everything looked very professional, that was until I saw the manual. Let me start by saying that the manual is probably the worst Chinglish I have ever seen, luckily the transmitter is easy enough to program without it.
The actual layout of the transmitter is quite nice too; there is a vast array of switches for selecting rates, gear, trainer-mode, flight modes, etc. These are complimented by three knobs which serve for flaps, hover pitch, etc.
From online reports I know that the quality control for these transmitters can vary greatly. The first one I received simply wouldn’t allow me to access the menus. The second one has been with me for a few months now and is still going strong.
One major thing to note is that the amount of channels will vary depending on whether you use PPM or PCM. Switching to PPM reduces the number of available channels to only 8.

The package that I purchased included the transmitter and transmitter module but no receivers. Luckily I had planned ahead and ordered both the 6 channel and 8 channel receivers from Hobby King. One you have everything the setup is extremely easy. Simply bind the receiver to the transmitter by putting the bind plug in the receiver and powering on your transmitter while holding in the bind button. All the receivers I bought were bound without any problems.
Once you have bound the receiver to the radio, it’s time to program the radio to suit your model. Pay careful attention to servo reversing and also the transmitter’s mode selection.

And now we will move on to the actual performance. I wasn’t expecting too much from this transmitter, so I was pleasantly surprised by its excellent performance. I could easily fly my helicopter to the very limits of my vision without any glitches. On a 450 size helicopter that means I could take it out about 300 metres on a 500 size helicopter I was able to go to nearly 400 metres before I started to get nervous, not because of the transmitters performance but rather because it became difficult to tell the orientation of the model. The first few flights I was actually expecting glitches, so I only used it on a few electric powered helicopters but now I feel comfortable enough to use it on my whole fleet.

The Fly Sky FS-TH9X is an excellent radio for the price. If you are on a limited budget and looking to upgrade to 2.4 GHz then I highly recommend you take a look at it. If you already have a Futaba/JR/Hitec radio then this will make an excellent backup or get up and go radio. At under $100 for a complete combo it doesn’t really matter if you knock or drop it.
One major problem is that when you are using PPM the 8 Channels means there is a lack of a failsafe option. This might prove a problem if you are flying very fast or dangerous models. But for smaller helicopters and aircraft I don’t see this being a big consideration.
Positives
  • Affordable
  • Easy to Program
  • Module Flexibility
Negatives
  • No Failsafe
  • Only 8 Model Memories
  • Quality Control Issues
As I said earlier, the Fly Sky FS-TH9X is available under various brands, Imax, Turnigy, Eurgle etc. Hobby King ‘s Turnigy 9X is now in its 3rd revision and at under $70 I highly recommend you check it out.
