    I tested the noise cancellation function and the voice sounds crystal clear... but what do I need to do if I want a video with the motor sounds on... just for a clip maybe taking off or landing as part of bigger video? i have tried but it either records only my voice or mutes every noise around... no motors... I know is silly but how can I enable this back? ANd yest you definitile can fly it manual from your phone or even now with the 8bit mini controller.

    Mountain biking is excellent therapy you get that endorphin hit that makes you feel better not to mention the rush you get when you all most kill yourself but ride out of it. You know, one of those close calls where all you can do after is laugh hysterically like The Joker " I almost died." Good times.. Good times. There is a music video about bike therapy by IFHT called " New Bike Day" it is great. I had a two for Tuesday therapy session ( It looks like a session ) I rode all morning then I rode to a labyrinth and walked it in my bare feet. I am one with the universe. 😁

    Do the standard Ibis rear hub in the wheelset this bike has still not have quick pawl engagement? The trails in my area are fairly technical, and the Chris King hubs on my current bike, which have instant engagement, really help while maneuvering through it. I just need a more current frame design with more travel and better anti squat, and unfortunately my CKs won't fit the new frames.

      If the fixed end of the clamp is slipping along the bar you may be able to scuff up the bar with sandpaper so it's grippier (especially if you're using something like galvanized instead of black pipe). Otherwise it may be a broken clamp mechanism.
