thanks for all the input. I'll be spending some time on the building next week again, too many things going on right now. I'll probably reduce the amount of down thrust since there might be a moment when this plane might find itself hovering and I don't think the down thrust would help in that situation and it doesn't sound like it has any benefit for the type of flying that I do. There will be some right thrust though.

thanks again for the info. I'll post how the plane flies once I get it in the air. maybe even a video!
