Have fun! AG 1 to detach payload. As with other models based on this design, startup must be with quick high thrust. VTOL for collective pitch. Try attaching different payloads, capable of decent lifting weight (increase piston range on top 4 pistons if you need more blade pitch). One quirky thing is the swash design is built for compactness so cyclic input actually provides more lift, useful or distracting depending on your payload and the ground. As always I love to hear feedback from you guys!
