Having a problem with the Aura 5 on severial planes, After adding power the system starts up and all controls work and the Surfaces react properly, the aura will lose bind and the ESC will turn on motor to idle and all surfaces will not move. All switches and transmitter stick inputs dont work. Cycle power and everything is working again. It's random and sometimes happes when moving any of the tx switches. Have this on 5 diferent models . Have not had it happen in flight. Whats going on?

I have used this setup on severial planes, not all mine. DX 8, DX 18, NX TXs.
Receivers are SPXL2. and the 2 antena and single antena remotes

Happens randemly, all planes have flown we just dont touch any of the switches in flight. Every time this happens it is when a switch is toggled. All programed from the laptop app.

When using Spektrum transmitters when binding the transmitter can be too close to the receiver and it floods the receiver it binds but not a solid bind. When ever I bind I put my body between the receiver and transmitter this can happen with any transmitter receiver combination but seems more so with Spektrum.

Planes are bound and flyable. This lock out is random, happens when I am checking out the controls before flying, when moving the 3-position switch between modes, gyro off, mid and max. I have had the system stop working, sometime just full up elevator other times just the motor at a low RPM. Nothing works at this point.

I am not sure what a partial bind would be.

Is this after you load the config and do a write to aura, bur maybe before you have disconnected the plane from the configurator? The configurator and plane do get in a weird state when connected.

The Configurator and plane sometimes need to be disconnected, restarted then connect, reread the config, re-enable live data. The configurator is not the most stable application I have used.

This is after usinig the config software. At the field start the plane and after everything is working. Random when it happens. Have flown the 4 planes this is happining whith out any issues in the air.
