You got me on that one! I need to pay more attention to my prop and balancing it. Lesson learned. Thanks.

To answer your third question. I'm returning to the hobby from a 30 year absence. You can see all of my earlier models in my profile but I'm very rusty.

I did join a club but the field is located very far away and I have my own personal field accross the street from my house.
