It fails to downgrade to any FW ... I believe because the RC is possibly on a FW that is incompatible.
This is possibly the cause of all my original problems.

Hey solentlife, have you got the latest version of Icarus which is 2.1? cause it apparently works with the official 1.7.9 firmware. I'm not keen to update firmware until I know it magic power mod or Icarus work on it.Thats news if it has ... I have the Icarus Mod and it only Ups the RC not the AC ... so you only have a half upgrade in power. I suffered severe glitches in connection when I tried it. I reverted back to CE on both and glitches vanished.
I have to say though I was on BETA 1.07.0090 FW.
I will be trying to install FINAL version 1.07.0090 FW just in case it has corrections etcv.

Found method, soon Magic can run on firmware v1.7.9In firmware version 1.7.84 and above FTP access is limited the the /tmp directory on the RC. All of the mods (Magic Power, Icarus, etc.) rely on FTP access to other directories, which is why they no longer work. If you want to use these mods, stick with 1.7.82 or older (1.5.7 appears to be the best).
question about magic power. I read somewhere that magic power only increases the video downlink / telemetry and not the remote control to operate the bird. Can anyone verify that?
True, it works on 2.4ghz transmit power.
However, I think it would help if you lost video and or telemetry signal prior to control signal. Combined this mod with windsurfer add on to your 5.8ghz antenna, you'll surely get decent range improvement.
