it happens , also try changing the esc if you have spare before pinpointing the receiver, and how abt a 6 prop instead of 7 , will put less load on the mounts too

Good build Sir. However, is she s little top heavy? I would have preferred a little more beam (width) on the model.

Not from you, Sir.
Dolly Parton is, i think, a nice person,
(if you see her gigs), not one who is big headed.
(I hope thats what top heavy means. I love the Doc in X files and the lady lifeguard in baywatch)
You may have come across another impressive young woman called Michelle Poe Singing

Rest on pm or face to face as not relevant to this thread
