	It's like a picture of Bigfoot.....can't actually see anything....I hope your aircraft building skills are better than your photography skills....but I suspect not....anyway, goodluck...and if nothing else, get a good video of the attempt! __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Somebody is going to get killed. Stop there and think: I want to live! Or Make sure you have GoPro as suggested. __________________ Common Sense Dictates

	Well I Think you Might Think Differantly when You See You Tube Video of Test #2 With Neg Angle Due to Trim & Sub Trim Setting Which I Know Nothing About? R.P.M.s were Good Considering I've Never Charged Either Battery since I Bought them & 1 Shorted Out? Watch the Video Then Tell Me it WON"T Work When I Learn How to Run this Radio?Slight Neg. Angle Can be Adjusted Out If I have to! I wanted it for Autorotation Purposes! I can Change Wings with 4 Wing Nuts on Each Side & Have a Pair of Thin Wings I'll Try! They are Lighter with Out Runner Motors Pics. on Twitter Sorry wrong pic. High School can't Delete Wanted to show Thin Wings! rotate1953

	Take a breath! . Take another one! . Slow down thinking. No dont type yet... . good . better. . Think what you want to say, slowly there. . Slowly. . Just relax and tell us: Did it fly. Did it take off in the fashion you wanted it and landed in the fashion you wanted it? . Now, the video is on Youtube?!Please post a link. . once this is done come again. Tell us the story. While you are at it write 5 sentences about "Autorotation". Please explain what that means. . Last but not least stay safe. __________________ Common Sense Dictates
