Actually it was more of a lift problem due to the extra weight. I installed a 380 xtreme motor and 11.1v/1000mah li-po. Then I cut about 3/4 of an inch off of the tip of the main blades and shaved about 3mm off the trailing edge of the blades. Then I cut the fly bar down 1 inch. And I cut about 1/2 an inch off each end of the tail rotor. And the last thing I did was cut about 1 and 3/4 inches off of the tail boom. The cuts on the main blades along with the 380 motor and bigger battery allow for a faster head speed generating more lift. Shortening the tail made the balance 100% better. The bee now has plenty of power and is very stable and it can take a beating.
