18650 have higher energy density but much lower discharge, which makes them unsuitable for things like racing quads where you pull crazy high current from the battery, but they are a viable option for many fixed wing & for bigger quads where you're pulling less current relative to the larger size of the pack/higher number of cells.

Don't use threadlock on prop nuts, it can weaken the prop hub (it eats into certain plastics) & is completely unnecessary if you just learn how to use a nylock properly.

I literally only did one short LoS flight with it to see if it worked, but apart from having bad bounceback on the pitch axis after flips on stock PIDs it worked fine. I recently found an old AIO cam/VTX that I stuck on top so I'll give it another go sometime.
