I switched in a half spec bearing and an 8mm bearing to make it responsive and I’m so scared of it flying away while I throw it lol ---

doesnt look like it’s cutting. the string is gonna fray just through normal use. if it’s cutting you’ll see actual whole threads cut through ---

I’m just scared because I had a BC Smithsonian walk away from me after cutting its string, and a new butterfly did the same. I don’t wanna throw my turtle 😭 I’ll keep at it and see!
