I use Spirit RS with Geolink in TDSF.
I have noticed the following several times.
After landing and engine off the Geolink was flashing fast which means the connection is broken.
After that only very small servo impacts were displayed with a time delay.
Furthermore I couldn't get into the Spirit Menu via my Jeti transmitter to get a log.
My questions about this:
- Is the behaviour of the Spirit normal if the connection to the Geolink is lost?
It seems that everything works until landing, even the rescue but no functions of the Geolink
- Is it normal that after landing and an error of the geolink I can't get into the menu of the Spirit in the Jeti channel?

Thanks a lot.

Try clearing the Geo Link logs.

No it is not normal, but clearing logs might really help.

If not, then this could happen when model is landing and GeoLink will receive strong static discharge.
You can try to make belt more tight so during landing it will not touch inside the boom.

OK, these are 2 possibilities I will try.
The problem is apparently already present in flight, because the set altitude limit does not trigger a rescue anymore.
