Yes Gerald, the Frog is getting quite adept with his HandiCam these days.

As for our discussion yesterday re the iNav system & flaps. Unfortunately whilst it sounded good it theory it wouldn’t work (for me) in practice as I use two servo outputs for separate left & right aileron controls plus one for the rudder & one for the elevator.

I could have used a Y cable and combined the ailerons on one channel but that only gave one extra output and unfortunately the Bix 2 needs two channels for flaps (one reversed) or a servo signal changer to reverse one of the servos. In the end it was easier just to use the bigger receiver which has SBus & PWM outputs as well as the SmartPort for telemetry.

All sorted now so just need to install it all back in the Bix 2 Sport & she is ready to soar.
