(about 12 grams to the front edge of a stock 850mAh battery)..

2... if the swash plate is not level control will be squirly and the tail rotor will hit the dirt a lot stripping out the gears.. taking off from grass can be deadly to the tail rotor, use a flat surface or even a piece of cardboard.. never let anything obstruct the tail rotor.. user orangebird tail rotor mod is of kind cool..
