One down, two to go haha. Been waiting for a chance to get this one in the air, and unfortunately I have been waiting so long that I forgot the battery had it laterally out of balance- so when it took off, it immediately started to roll, and there was no saving it. Didn't get 6 feet in the air before it made its fateful plunge lol. It'll fly again though |
