That's really great and important news. How has it performed in a range of wind conditions? How much wind is okay?
I used to fly a LOT of SVs, and I had a 2 cluster mount and a three cluster mount that itself was inserted into the motor mount tube and extended out the rear. I always used the Centuri clear plastic fin add-ons and a tower free nose cone on flight.
