Took mine flying for the first time on Sunday.

Started off very well but then took to turning itself off. Screen went blank. Switched it back on again but ti then switched itself off again.

Thinks - dodgy batteries, so changed the batteries, still did it. When it switches off is random, sometimes stays up for a while, sometimes switches off again during power up.

It has worked fine when playing in the car so I suspect the problem may be vibration related. Anyone else experienced it?
