    Telemetry should not be a routine drill, if your going on frequent telemetry drills, you need to change things up (setups-training) because there will be a day when you have one/two working transmitters but your receiver fails. Telemetry is a fall back, not part of flying fast and loose (not saying that you are and I'm guilty of the same). Having good game setups are critical otherwise checking off/telemtry chases will be the drill.
