Startup Procedure: wait 10 seconds, increase throttle to full, allow rotor disk to stabilize (reload if necessary), VTOL for collective pitch. Please avoid full travel of control inputs as the joints and parts have a hard time handling the load; hours of weight and balance tuning were put in just to get a consistent startup procedure at this weight. If you are feeling lucky, setting the drag hinges to 5 degrees allows more payload capacity but requires experimenting with different startup procedures. Enjoy! Sidenote: this aircraft has about as much payload capacity as a C-130 Hercules or the current largest production helicopter!

    This is good. Still has problems, but the design for the rotors is amazing. U need to do more of that, maybe iron out sommma the probems, like holding roll or pitch.

    REMINDER to read and follow the startup procedure or it will usually destroy itself or fly terribly (albeit it is still slow and hunky in normal flight). Thanks hatsun and elite!
