    Hi Nelson,

    You're right ! It's a lot of thrust ! And I will post a video to boot. Stay tuned. We still have to see if the engine was revving too high. If so, we'll repitch the propeller 0.5 degree more and try again. Trial and error.

    Keep building...It'll eventually fly !

    HI Nelson,
    Thanks for the advice I already tried the new setting and found not much changed from the previous one as far as yaw is concerned. The 701 seems to accelerate much faster now and the engine doesn't revolution as much and the prop doesn't wine that much anymore. All in all, I'm pleased !
