Be Careful with Metal Surfaces

We had a very nice customer kill a Prop-1 by powering it on while sitting on a metal surface.  Ouch.  Please... do not set your controller onto a metal surface -- ever.  We have mounting kits, or -- at the very least -- you can elevate the surface of your controller with stand-offs.  you can get them from us or your local hardware store.

We hate when these kinds of accidents happen and we don't want them to happen to anyone else.

Also, don't let boards touch other boards. I killed a AP--8 this way. On the positive side I have a cool drink coaster!

Scaring someone with a prop you built -- priceless!
