    Hello all, New to this game but avid lurker. Today was fiddling with the Smart Controller to update my flight record and fiddle. As I was fiddling in the flight screen (not flying but drone powered up on the desk) I happened to touch the screen and hold, which vibrated and then, as I moved my...
