Hello, I hope you don't mind, but since i cant progress the rf mod until the postman comes, i thought i would work in some other mods, here's what i have so far.

The transmitter mod: The plastic arround the analog stick limited the movement of the stick, so that it couldn't turn at full speed whilst at full acceleration, however when the front cover is removed the helicopter is capable of turning at full speed. The same results can be obtained by filing the analog sticks hole square.

The Gyroscope mod: this mod should allow the R5 board to be able to turn faster than normal, there are two potential ways to accomplish this mod, the first and simplest could be to tilt it forwards so it becomes less sensitive to vertiacal rotation.

The other method is depicted below, by using a voltage divider with two matching resistors, the turning speed should double. however there is very little area to solder to on the board, so may be difficult to accomplish.

 Please feel free to suggest any improvements, or other mods that you think should be done.
