got home from work, its a lil bit windy but not too bad. took the H up and it flys like new...camera pans and tilts as should, it hovers nicely and doesnt drift...seems 100%
only thing I did notice which I didnt check yesterday as I threw the controller on to charge. two of the metal rings that hold the switches in were extremely loose and the nut that holds the video antenna cable against the controller was really loose too. tightened them up and so far, so good
