Hey Paul, I can agree with all of your comments. I was taught to fly by a tough no nonsense guy who flew full scale planes. Every time I thought I had a glitch or something he said BS pilot error. That is how I attacked the disection of evey crash I had through the learning process. Never did run into a unexplainable crash. Switches, loose connections, poor reading of battery condition, bad servo setup, dumb thumbs etc. I am disturbed lately of the problems that have cropped up with 2.4 systems. At first consumers were blamed and flamed but in time it got proven that receivers were faulty and transmitters had issues. If they grinded it out with some long term testing maybe many consummers could have been spared money wasted. I have switched to 2.4 and have had issues but quit flying at the slightest strange feel about things and grounded the planes until I figured it out. I am worried everytime I fly one of my planes for the first time with the new 2.4 set ups. One by one they are getting up in the air but I am still nervous.
