OpLink telemetry needs the GCS OpLink updated to 'next' as well. After that you will have to "rebind" them too. Maybe that is your issue.
Also be aware that there is a bug with export and import UAV files in 16.09 (at least with Revo class FC). When you export via OpLink, the UAV file will hold settings for the aircraft except for the OpLink settings. OpLink settings part of UAV file will come from the GCS OpLink. When you Import via OpLink, the FC in the aircraft will get the settings from the UAV file, except for the OpLink settings. The OpLink settings from the UAV file will be put into the GCS OpLink.
The work around for now is to always do import and export with a USB cable in 16.09.
