Thanks Graham! Yep...there is a bit of a wobble but not bad at all for something of this size to fly on stock PID's and filters. I've got packs charging so that I can do some more hovers and try to smooth things out a bit. Then I'll put on the goggles and fly around my local club field and do some more testing and adjusting.
