The idea was to see how this 7" FPV quadcopter would fly when all the motors are mounted with a forward 25 degree tilt angle. BUT because I didn't take into account the arm geometry of this particular frame (Source One V1 7"), as well as the extra wire length needed, the motors ended up being angle inward (front) and outward (rear). That's pretty weird, and not at all ideal. However, I wanted to see if it could still fly like this and how it would handle. I was surprised. If nothing else, this is a testament to how good/resilient/flexible modern flight controllers are!

The 3D print files for this angled motor mount are not available yet because I want to do a bit more redesigning so that they are more useful right away.
