I forgot to mention yesterday that after watching me flail trying to get Cubby off the ground Arnie made a suggestion that fixed the problem rather directly. Like Phoenixcubby, Cubby2 has the new motor, which may a bit more heavy and hrave a different thrust vector. Both of them, as seen in my
Last Flight of the Phoenix video, have a tendency to tip forward when power is applied. He suggested putting a couple of washers under the lower mounts, moving the thrust vector up. Darn if this didn't make that problem go away... My next flights all had nice clean take-offs! Thanks, Arnie!
By the way, bring on the comments, but those wire ties work great for securing this small motor!
Great contribution you have there!

Nice work. I am just worried about the exposed wires - maybe you can put on an electrical tape around them so you won't get electrocuted
