Two possibilities I guess, either 1) the bug has always been there and this daylighted it, or 2) the user unknowingly twisted the throttle to full during the crash. I admit I’ve accidentally twisted the throttle to full while putting the remote in my pocket to put my gloves on or removing it from my pocket after.
Although the simultaneity of the event descriptions (one guy twists, the other guy goes) is an interesting datapoint.
I would guess that you guys don’t have access to the channel hopping code anyway.
