Hi Greg, and jester, strange you should mention your radio, One of my pals had the same issue as you and the range was found to be suspect He has flown a lot since the set was returned with no more issues. I have flown the eight in several other models including big petrols. The logger was a bit high on counts in these a well. I have a faulty throttle trim so I will return the tx and see how it goes, Ron. p.s. my logger showed 'Hold' when the turbine quit at half throttle.
