    I cut 18mm off the end. Just felt like the right length to chop off. Works good.

    Can someone explain why this works for my future reference?

      Steven, here's my take, although there's probably more to it :

      I built the Cyberstorm usung the guts from my DF33, including a 450/3 prop which helped the DF33 accelerate out of the turns, which was hampered by the larger wetted hull of the DF33. The Cyber runs looser, and the longer stinger magnifies the propwalk of the 3-blade in such a way to cause some "twitchiness" while turning. Shortening the stinger reduces the "moment of torque" created by the prop on the end of the stinger. Hopefully, those more learned than I can expound further.
