Not really, more of a pain in the butt. Had a lot of trouble because of the carbon fiber frame not playing nice with the compass & GPS. It was discovered later the compass needed to be mounted down the leg on the landing gear to stop interference.
I had one fly away with it because of that. Good thing it landed in a small spruce tree about 200 yards away and it was still beeping or else I would never have found it.

Don’t blame you a bit. I’ll be saying the same thing about the heat and humidity in a month or so. It’s been unseasonably cool down here as well. We’re loving it right now.

Man oh man, I know what happens when a compass is faulty. They just fly away w/o any warning or control from you. It’s a helpless feeling! Oh god how I wished XSP’s beeped! I’ve literally rolled around in mounds of 5-6’ weeds mounds looking for my XSP that was really close, but the lights couldn’t be seen in daylight. Once for over an hour. Since the “map” can be off by 50’ or more, a beep would be invaluable...
