Yes....i buried her properly......still alittle pissed that my plane is in a BAG right now...but hey..you move on. YES the plane will definitly hover...I took off in three feet!...so its basically a helecoptor!.. the stock threedee with mp gearbox will produce about 16 oz of thrust for the weight of the plane....with the new set up i added 3 oz of weight...but i was producing 35 oz of thrust...YOU CAN IMANGINE!
