I Broke My 3" Kestrel, but My 4" Kestrel is Flying Great!

I'm trying to do a better job at talking to the camera, so I'm trying this again!

Editing video takes time, and I flew my 3" again since recording this.  It is flying great again, but all the footage I got yesterday is a bit out of focus.  I guess I didn't nail the focus when I replaced my smashed Caddx Turtle lens!

At any rate, I'm less certain today about my thoughts on my 3" Kestrel vs. my 4" Kestrel.  Especially since my  4" build costs about $50 more, and weighs 55 grams more than my 4" build.  I'll keep flying and report back!
