requiring high torque small low-pitch props minimize problem Unfortunately higher RPM tends reduce duration potential [It sometimes possible choose longer thinner motors hold enough turns have very good rubber] Other things help Wing offset get enough fix climb rest flight suffers [Most models use offset common other classes offset seems essential] Torsional bending motor stick induce wing twist thinning motor stick between wing posts can increase wing twist enough help other adjustments balanced out can work tricky [The major problem adjustments depending strength component flying different
