    What goes up must come down. For the Repairs
    New right prop, Right Aileron servo horn.
    Glue left vertical, Battery hatch catch, plastic wingtip inserts, both landing gear back into fuselage, and a few cracks in the near the motor nacelle.

      Brad the ESC is messed up, going to replace it with the smart duel Twin Timber ESC so that it can be programed with the NX10 if needed. I can't get the smart esc programmer to connect anymore. I could tell when flying it that the left motor was pulling harder than the right which made for a fun flight. Thank you Jeff
