    the props and motor are in great shape... they move and spin freely i flew it in sportmode hard lastnight at about 6 ft AGL across a soccer field for 20 minutes, no hiccup , and my dog was exhausted from chasing it.

    unless there is a hidden millitary operation nearby to emp my bird, it looked like it was verymuch directected at the transmission , otherwise why would my screen image be scrambled and static I was in the mining town of Yale BC, no airports but there's lots of Native Indian camps up here too...
