Default RE: How to build G3PO

Ok, so now I have a picture and the higher resolution .jpg on the website.
I downloaded my own drawing to look at it and it seems readable.
Let me know if I need to do something else.....
Three more flights in the street this afternoon.
BTW the ground handling on this model is excellent. I can
spin the rotors, race downwind to get some rotor speed,
turn around in the street and make a nice takeoff.
This model appears to be able to takeoff and fly at
basically the same pitch trim. Full throttle is never used.
I've discovered possibly every bad way to take off poorly
and how badly it can fly with the CG WAY too far aft. So
maybe if someone builds one I can help diagnose it remote
control.

Hey Jim, now I'll get the 400 grit sandpaper out...
First thing I'm going to try is a different power plant
that is hopefully lighter and only two cells.

PS
There seem to be very few responses to my posts...
Is it because:
A) You all think I'm nuts and are laughing at my ramblings
B) My stuff is so off the wall you are shaking your heads in shame
C) You hope that if you don't encourage me I'll go away
D) You are certain my neighbors are going to have me arrested
and you want to make sure they can't connect you to me in any way....

Really, its a lot of work to convert/upload videos and make the drawings.
I'd appreciate a quick "right on" or "shut up" cause there
is no reason for me to keep feeding the web if I'm just talking to myself...
