spot on mate. I think its just the nature of 5.8g. its just normal to me mate you get used to it. the only bad bits were completely behind rocks or buildings.

today was about tuning this was the flight previous to the fatal crash, just finishing off pitch tuning. the quad is feeling pretty good towards the end, pitch is perfect there is a touch of bounce on roll stop (increase d) yaw has a slow wobbly bounce on hard stop/ff flight after roll input (d to high) TPA is turned down to 30 for general tuning (needs turning up). just thought i would post this to show i dont always crash sometimes the battery goes flat first.

no i sold it to a friend who's getting into the whole flying thing, he has been out with me and used my spare goggles and loves it, i thought that it would make a really good first frame, ive just got to build it with him once he has got all the parts together.
