front and back thrusters is great. Mine are not of equal strength (or of equal effect) also due to restricted flow. But it's worth considering some attention to this as it makes it easier to simply hold both joysticks to one side for sideways movement and then not having to adjust the more powerful all the time.
Wind of course changes that whole calculation but in that situation you'd be correcting all handles all the time anyway :approve:

As promised, I’m reporting back on the Husuku SOOP3 lights https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088G ... UTF8&psc=1. I’m pretty happy with them. I did 5 across my 13’ beam. In hind sight I think I would have done 6 but it still looks really good!
