"I'll take hurricanes over tornadoes any day, at least you can plan ahead, and we are not too close to the coast. And earthquakes, no thanks."

"Sorry about your loss Jimmy, but the TX should have been able to bring it home. I never trust the Android App completely."

"Good plan Larry. I'll try it myself if the rain ever stops."

"Here is what the arducopter wiki says: “Simple” and “Super Simple” modes are used in combination with the Stabilize, Sport, Drift and Land flight modes. Here is the reference:

"I just went back and carefully reread the Flight Mode descriptions from the arducopter wiki and here is what it says: "“Simple” and “Super Simple” modes are used in combination with the Stabilize, Sport, Drift and Land flight modes.""

"Just to clarify things: The telemetry radios have nothing to do with the transmitter, except the telemetry data. The transmitter and its controls work in the 2.4 GHz band. The telemetry radio works with the telemetry (altitude, speed, voltage, etc.)…"

"Ken,
