PSA if you're having intermittent connection issues with the remote - I've easily fixed my issue

I was having this issue and fixed it by making sure my hand was almost completely off the remote except for ofcourse my throttle finger and middle / ring for gripping the remote. The other KEY thing to do is make sure the top part of the remote is pointing at the board and that there are no fingers between the line of site of your board and the remote.

They really need to beef up this RF connection so this isn't required in cases like mine, but this fixed it 100% for me so far.

I was inadvertently holding my thumb on the top of the controller because I played Nintendo Wii for years and it was pure muscle memory for this type of controller.

 

good info but we shouldn't have to do that - will try it next time I get a glitch

the radio board is actually in the bottom part on the top side (same side as screen) below the buttons - (so it actually partially shields itself too)
