FWIW, I get numbers comparable to your flights 1, 2, and 4. Flight 3 is higher than I have seen, but at least you did not get any holds. Rapid rolling maneuvers seem to increase the fade count, and orienting the transmitter antenna vertically (rather than straight out) seems to reduce the fade count. I've got about 35 flights with a Spektrum setup and it has worked well so far. I'm flying an air frame slightly smaller than the Flash. Thanks for starting the thread - the info should be useful.
