Hi Chunky C! (subscribed) - You're right, 4S is sweet with this baby. I'm a newbie, so I tend to keep it 50% or less throttle most of the time. But every once and a while gotta go balls to the wall!! :P Also, I lost a screw on the landing gear. This time I added Loctite as you mentioned! -mikey
Thanx. It was soooo quiet down there when we were filming. It was driving me crazy when I was editing so I decided to backfill with whatever I could find.
Mine has Nylock nuts that rest in a plastic holder that receive the landing gear screws. I lost a screw and the nut rotate just enough that the screw wouldn't engage. There is no way to access that nut. Horizon Hobby told me the fix was to replace the fuselage. I drilled two holes in the battery tray to straighten the nut and then applied a drop or two of epoxy to stop it from happening again. I also replaced the provided screws with button head socket screws to eliminate the problem of screwdriver drifting off. They also look better.

Nice one Chris, always great to know about possible issues. Nice calming music in the background. 🫡
