I should not have covered my last Bug . It looks great, but covering the tail added enough weight to the tail that I had to put two 170 li- pos in parallel in the nose. Instead of a single 170 like my last bug. So 2 extra grams for the cover and now 4 extra to balence.thats almost a 1/4 oz. Oh well! I wont have to worry about running my batteries low anyway with 340 mah.
