I flew two Telemetrums yesterday. Had a bit of an operator issue until I realized I had the antenna orientation flipped but after getting that fixed it worked pretty well. I see them take a few minutes to lock and my very old Altus droid app can be frustrating but the work great. I got a set of small drivers from Sears that fit just fine.
