and 2) center of gravity ( after landing gear was removed ) thrown way off.
So this time I'm going to do everything 100 % right. Motor, KV, prop. and thrust is a little confusing.
Just take your time and think things out, before applying glue. I've built a couple Herr designs, and they build well.

Enjoy your building experience !
