This is a beautifully designed & thought design. I dont know how they sell it so cheaply!!! My canopy mod was to cut a slot for forward screw & eliminate the rear one, Just slip the canopy under the front screw & tape down the rear end. EASY. Use smaller diameter piano wire pushrods...also lighter. Get some HECELL 1000 Mah NiMh batteries from eDogFight.com. They;re 2/3 a size & weigh much less thAN 500 nIcDS. wITHOUT THERMALS...FLITE TIMES r FROM 15 TO 20 MINS./
*My experience was that a larger prop worked better!!!
