While I don't agree with Goofup that it can't be done, it's pretty foolish to spend all that money then throw away the most expensive parts. You're spending $169.99 then throwing away $120 worth of gear.

You would be much farther ahead if you chose a different plane.

Remember that ONE report of glitches does not mean that ALL the Aerobird radios are bad. ANY radio will glitch, given enough interference. It could be that the glitching Aerobird is being flown in a very harsh RF environment.
