    How do I know if H3-3d needs balancing?

    You don't need counterbalancing.... The ones that need it are just over concerned about something that is not a problem!! Put the polar pro on.. Power up.... Fly....

    Fatuba or stock receiver

    I installed a t10j on my phantom and for more fine tuned controls it's great.. Range??? We'll, The stocker wins but only by a little bit and to be honest it is was stupid to fly it as far as it would go (1/2 mile+)... Unless you need more fine precise controls stick with the stocker!! It works...

    IMPORTANT!!! Battery Clearance with Y-Axis (Yaw) motor

    With your battery out look in the battery opening... You will see the motor and some plastic surrounding it. Is the top of the motor close to the top of the plastic or well below the top? If its close i would say you need thicker washers. Since the washers seemed to help it may still be close...

    IMPORTANT!!! Battery Clearance with Y-Axis (Yaw) motor

    Hey kelso... Glad it fixed your issue too!! Captain... A very thin washer should be good enough!! Not much clearance is needed but makes such a big difference!!

    IMPORTANT!!! Battery Clearance with Y-Axis (Yaw) motor

    Cutting the battery plastics should work fine as long as it gives you the needed clearance!!! I personally wasn't to keen on cutting the battery so I chose the washers.. Same prob, different approach post bCk if it works for you!!!
