Activation of TI for DF5 and DF5 Pro
Hi,
I found in comparison chart of Drafanfly.com that one of the differences between DF5 and DF5 Pro is activation of TI.
At time of arming DF5 only for DF5 and via transmitter switch in flight for Pro.
My questions are;
1. What is the merit of activation of TI during flight?
2. If I use another 6ch tx instead of 4ch tx included in the kit, can I activate TI during flight?
3. Main boards for DF5 and DF5 Pro are exactly same?
Thanks,

Mike at [link=http://www.spectrolutions.com/]Spectrolutions[/link] says that a board mod is required to enable the ability to enable/disable ti via the Transmitter. They charge $30, and of course include a new set of blades with the mod too. The radio that ships with the pro is a Hitec Laser 6.
I don't know why you would want to fly without ti, unless you're inside and it wouldn't work.

RE: Activation of TI for DF5 and DF5 Pro
Thank you for your answer.
I don't mean I want to fly without TI.
What I want to know is the merit of activation of TI DURING flight by TX compared to the activation of TI at the begining of arming DF.
I had in mind that I could use another 6ch TX for the activation of TI during flight for DF5 (not PRO).
But a board mod is required for that.

RE: Activation of TI for DF5 and DF5 Pro
If you activate Ti or deactivate it during flight you may experience a quick change of flight characterstics. I have done this while just a couple of feet off of the ground and because my trims were set at a certain level with Ti, turning it off sent it into immediate chaos to match those trim settings without Ti. In other words, I think that trim settings are different when using Ti and without it. So switching in midflight is going to be moving from one extreme to another. That's been my experience. I can't fly without Ti, yet, and don't really want to.
