Thanks, actually the standoffs come in to view if I tilt the angle alot and I've only noticed a few times, but you are right.

I put abit of velcro on the bottom and it seems to work fine without a battery strap.

For my needs, it flew fine, but after a few crashes, it's starting to break because the bottom plate is only 2.5mm, will need to do a transplant to a stronger body very soon lol.

I'm sorry to hear it's not holding up. I haven't even maidened mine yet. Did you apply superglue to the edges to keep the fiber from separating? Where are the weak points?

yeah i applied ca glue and even sanded down the edges.
weak points at the end of the arms where the motors mounted.
Although, my crashes were on concrete..

Ouch, no other place to fly? I'm only going to be flying over grass.
