from the short click above you can I'm not the greatest.

well I've got an idea that will help me out.

I added mechanical front spoilers. This is to help be able to drive on the ground with out the Hydro wanting to take off. this will be done with the spoilers in the (up) position. An when it comes time to get some air and fly around, this will be done by a click of a switch and the spoilers will go down.

to do this. part of the body had to be cut out. In order to get the servo in. An also run the push rods.

Tools & Supplies used:
1. Razor blade
2. Ruler
3. Pen
4. Soldering iron
5. Pliers
6. Hot glue gun
7. 5 min. Epoxy
