| well, i know i'm a little late to the party ... i've had this thing for 18 months bur i've finally got it built
and man oh man is it smooth ... i mean 101% vibe free
this thing just purrs like a kitten
i run 4s 2500 with a Kora 15-10 motor and wood blades - maybe 2000 ish rpm... set up for mild ... i'm a rank amateur here
i used T Morita's suggestion of a hula-hoop as a safety gear and that is an excellent idea! - already saved the main blades
my mains tracked perfectly right off the bench - i spent a long time setting it up and balancing everything with a 100th gramme scale ... it paid off - this thing is so smooth
first flights confirm a tendency to drift to the right - i'll have to muck about with the gyro Logictech 2100 --
but so far so good
im very happy
