One suggestion. Form your training gear into an X shape instead of the # shape you have now. And put balls on each end. You dont want to have those flat sticks pointing out. They will get caught on something and flip the helicopter....just a suggestion.

Status: offline 		bdavision gives good advice. If you get any interference or glitching, you also might want to consider a better way or routing the receivers antenna.
