I love this thing! I can get it to hover by using the left-right stick.
I tried trimming it with the trim lever but it still spins. Is there a way to change the rotors to get it to stip spinning. I tried bending the top and then bottom rotors with some success. It seems to loose the pitch setting after I crash. Is there a guide to how much pitch to give the top and bottom rotors?
I think the rotors themselves are fragile. I have allready had to tape the leading edge on several after crashes. Also had to superglue some back onto the metal rods. Is there a better material to make rotors out of? I can get thick mylar at work and it folds but doesn't crack or rip, I think I'll try curving some into the shape of the rotors and replacing the factory ones. I wonder what Petter uses for rotor material on his prototypes.
This thing rocks. I have got over 10 minutes on a battery charge so far. I think I have the latest model. Purple and green and no exposed tail wires.
Removed the canopy and moved the CG forward by moving/taping the battery more forward. Haven't done catkiller yet.
Any comments on rotor material would be great! Thanks for reading this long post!
