+ | ===== Lessons learned ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | - The collet type prop holders are too often out of balance and vibrations then cause problems | ||
+ | - If you plan on flying high then attach some leds for helping seeing the orientation | ||
+ | - Watch were the props are when carrying a bigger quadcopter through doorways :-) | ||
+ | |||
