Edit: Turns out the cheap Banggood rx is fine, my Frsky DFT module has failed!
After singing Frsky's praises for 15 years this is my second RF module that has failed in storage, it was fine when last used.
Back home now, confirmed on the bench that the DFT RF module had failed.
Replaced with one of my spares and all is well again, red leds all round and range restored, the cheap Banggood rx is fine :)
Quite a tricky replacement as there's no room to spare inside the case, the stick takes up most of the space and everything has to lay exactly.
Glad its fixed though, I love this tranny, its so convenient and lives with my Lidl 'twisty'.

The Pete Beadle Nostalgia Day is finally going ahead today at Ivinghoe, Saturday 28th Sept
A westerly, although with a degree or two of North in it they'll be struggling :D :D :D
Hope they have a great day, wish we could have been there. The 'theme' model for the event is the Lulu:

Very similar model to Nick's hugely successful Zeitgeist
