Check center of mass

Check vibrations

Set rates

Set PIDs

Using blackbox

• Most flight controllers support WS2812B LEDs
• Every single LED can be addressed by using Cleanflight/Betaflight interface. Enable it in
• I highly recommend to use a beeper to locate the racer after a crash in high grass or a tree.
• Contact to a bent prop will kill the LED stripe

• Weight: The lighter the better, especially on the leading edge of the prop.
• Size: Small for good resonse. Large for better power ratio. Sweet spot ~5" with current LiPo batteries.
• Bullnose: Increases surface area for more power. You loose power ratio. (High current rates)
• Triblade: Increases surface area for more power. Less twitchy. Bit more efficent than bullnose.
• Pitch: Small for good resonse, large for more top speed.
• Flexibility: Flexible props reduce the pitch at high RPM. They are also loud.

• The more dents and scratches the more vibration and less performance.
• Frequently check temperature of your motors.
• For high performance, use new and balanced props.
