Can't see a thing wrong with it Dan, I did arm it and run motors whilst in my hand and it's fine.... I'm thinking it got out of range.... But it's ready for tomorrow.... Yeah those motors are awesome

That's a bummer about the landing gear. I'm sure it helps a lot!

As for the sticker....and the fact that you still forget to start the timer....that's hilarious!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maybe we need a sticker on the quad, too

Do your motors spin up when you arm Tony.
That is one of the first things I turn off when I set up a quad.

Still don't know why my quad fell out the sky yesterday, but I got through a few packs down at the river today, even flew across it and it was ok.... Weird why it would do that, I'm guessing nobody on here has any thoughts...

You need a sticker to remind you to read the sticker on your transmitter Tony! :D
