This is a how-to about updating the firmware on EZUHF long range RC transmitters and receivers. Also shown is how to bind the EZUHF Jr Module on a FrSky Taranis to the EZUHF RX.
If this still doesn't work try switching your TX to High, and another thing is trying different USB ports on your computer (as suggested by viewers).
For Updating and Binding the EZUHF Nano RX go here:

If USB driver failes to install and a manual driver update has to be done, point the path to c:\Program Files\ImmersionRC\ImmersionRCTools
Or where ImmersionRC Tools is installed you will find the driver.

Two RC FPV Tek Sumo Wings chasing a large scratch built RC airplane.
This was part of the fun at our new years day fly. Aerial video was from a RunCamHD action camera and the FPV video feed was from a RunCam Eagle 4:3 FPV camera.
Pilots: Otto on large lead plane, Barney on 1st FPV wing and Dave on 2nd FPV wing capturing aerial video.

The Polaris XL is a 133% version of the standard size Polaris, and the larger size only enhances the flight characteristics that made the original such a popular airplane. The wing loading is even lighter and the gentle flight performance will amaze you, yet the XL is capable of some impressive aerobatics and a surprising turn of speed!
The kit includes precision laser cut 6 mm Depron foam, nearly 10' of carbon fiber spars, laser cut hardware, pushrods, and fully illustrated construction guide on CD. The decal set is optional.
The Polaris XL is a full build, but we've incorporated additional locking tabs to ease construction and speed up the build. We think you’ll find the build to be very straightforward and enjoyable.
Recommended Power Setups:
Package #1: Polaris Motor (2212-6 with 6x4 prop)
This package uses the standard motor recommended for the 100% Polaris, the Suppo/Spinmax 2212-6, which weighs 47g. This motor has a KV of 2200, spins a 6x4E APC propeller at 19,000 RPM, and can take up to 28A for 60 seconds. The motor will draw about 20-22A at takeoff and in full throttle flight and cruise at 12 to 15A.
Recommended ESC is 40A (with optional heatsink) and the battery should be 3s 2200 mAh 20C or better. The Polaris XL with this 220 watt motor flies beautifully at moderate speed and can maintain a steep climb. It gets off the water or grass easily. Typical all-up wei

Large Scale RC Model B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber at Joe Nall 2017 - Kit by Carf Models
http://carf-models.com/en/products/b-2-spirit
Specifications:
171" (4350 mm)
65" (1650 mm)
52 lb (24 kg)
2x 80-100 N
8 high power digital servos (+ 3 for gear doors)
Gyros: 1x 3-axis delta config.
1x 2-axis V-tail config
Its impressive size of 435 cm wing span is intriguing, but its fin-less stealth shape make it appear small when sitting on the runway. Still easy to transport and store, it is big enough to impress the crowd with an unprecedented appearance in the sky.
The simplicity of the aircraft is mind boggling, too. The center fuselage/wing has the tricycle landing gear, 2x 100 N sized engines and RC components installed. They are accessible through 3 large hatches and 3 large gear doors, all readily installed and hinged. The fuel system is installed through 2 large bomb bay doors on the bottom of the fuselage. The two wings slide onto 4 aluminum tube stubs and carry all flaps for elevator, aileron and rudder control.
Now, how is the CARF-Models B-2 actually controlled? Basically, a simple delta configuration of 2 flaps in each wing controls elevator and aileron, optionally the tail cone of the fuselage is mixed into the elevator function as well. This is set up using a high end 3-axis gyro such as a Powerbox Mercury or similar. The rudder gyro function is used for the nose wheel steering, which is important for this airplane with no fin.
The aerodynamic yaw stability is achieved by two drag rudder, positioned at the outer wing tips, which split open 25-30 degree during all flight, and just like the full scale, create drag at the furthest point behind the CG, stabilizing yaw perfectly. Those split flaps are used for yaw control by opening and closing the split angles alternately. They can also be opened and closed simultaneously within their limits and work as speed brakes during landing. Here a 2nd simple gyro such as a Powerbox iGyro 3e comes into action, where the two rudder channels are simply fed through free channels in the Mercury, plugging into the iGyro 3e, which is set up for V-Tail action.
All the above has been perfected inflight and programming instructions with all techniques and values come with the kit.

Finding a FPV solution for using 1280 MHz video TX with the NAZA M GPS was not easy. This time I try a 400 mw video transmitter both with and without a 1280 band pass filter. Then a do a range check of the 2.4 GHz RC receiver to see how the 1280 effects the range the quadcopter has before brown-outs or failsafe would occurs.
