Jump Jet RF Mod: Maiden Outdoor Flight

Description: I modified my Jump Jet by replacing the IR receiver with a modified micro RF FM receiver. I did this so I could fly the Jump Jet outdoors and beyond line-of-sight. As you can see in the video it flies really well outside and is a lot of fun!
Don't get me wrong, the IR that comes standard on the Jump Jet works great for indoor use, but I was keen to fly it outdoors where the IR would normally get saturated by the sunlight.
I've explained how to do the mod here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=851835#post9593775
Snelflight will be releasing an RF mod eventually, so unless you know how to work an oscilloscope and don't mind SMA soldering, I suggest you wait for their official RF mod to be released.
Also, I was actually really happy with the original controller; it is very comfortable and has a tidy, compact form factor (very Playstation like). If Snelflight release an RF kit that uses their original controller housing, I'd be keen to buy that.
Happy Jump Jetting!
