Marcus, get going on the reverse motor design. I have been running my 4 gear since January and it is really working out well. Altitude control is great with it. Gears are holding up well, but your right it takes a lot of fine tuning to get the mesh right and there is a lot of wasted energy (friction) being generated by the extra gear. Can't wait to see what you come up with.
