I know that Teus (and now baconandeggs96) recently built an amazing version of this but this was built on request.

    @ultimatepilot, does fly and flies quite well. Not sure if your settings need to be adjusted.

    @maverickvii You build great things, and I've posted at least two Q-400s, but did not get around to putting the new Walrus props on. (I prefer props that provide thrust.)

    @BaconAndEggs96 hmm, interesting idea though I'm not sure how much I can improve on the recent one posted. I'll do some playing around though.
