Wow! It blows my mind to hear of anyone still flying XPS in a valuable airplane. I just sold my 33% H9 Cap to a fella who just crashed his. He said he was on final and it just dropped a wing and went in. The discussion turned to radios and it came out that he was flying it on XPS!. When I found that out I asked if he was familiar with these forum discussions. He wasn't. Just for grins I showed him my videos of XPS glitching and failures and it blew his mind, I mean really blew his mind!

"Wow" he said shaking his head, "maybe that's why my Cap used to do all that weird stuff! Every now and then it would just do something like this (makes hard pitching and banking hand motions)."

How about that?

Here's a video you'll love. I thought I had accidently deleted this but found about 6 seconds worth of a great XPS video. When I first got my XPS system I hooked it up to a freshly charged battery pack and Futaba 9303 servo. It started doing weird stuff right away. Everytime I turned it on it did something strange so I made up a big orange pointer for the servo and took this video. It just sat there and did this over and over for minutes at a time. The video is quick so don't blink!
