    Isn't the diet pop bottles used for electric planes as they are lighter and made of less plastic. Regular pop bottles are thicker plastic to aid in less cracking and more durable to help battle vibration...... Make sure your prop is balanced..

    Ok so I stopped to have a food break and looking over the plans there's still a ton of work to do before shes in the air. Mostly just hinges and linkages so it shouldn't be too bad....i hope
