I'll ask him to join you the next time you are flying and he is there. I think we decided that he was an "Irritant 4".

For certain tasks(in competition), you need to count down to zero to land. I agree they are somewhat annoying, sometime I felt like to tell to "shut up!". At least the timer will take that and not get mad, like some OFB will!! ten...nine.....eight....seven......six...SHUT UP! Brian Depends on what you are using it for, to time a flight is ok.

And I agree about turning it off for the last minute, though it would be nice if you could alter that behavior without serious hacking. As it is, I use the timer on my transmitter. Fly up high, level off, look at the tranny face to see the time. Not an ideal solution. If I could nab one that sounds off, oh, every five minutes I might be able to stand it.
