Man... your flight skills are great - and your videography is just as good! It's hard to find good quality videos like this... great job on both counts!
Thank you Crazy. We hope to fly a little better this summer WHILE we're on camera. Not like I can friggin flip the thing over inside the house while nobody is watching, it's just something about knowing the camera is on makes everything so much more intense.
ive read many reviews & write ups on this fascinating little heli & they state that it is stable like a contra blade heli,so that being said is this heli naturally stable in the hover(pendulum effect) or will it naturally fall off the bubble like a true single rotor heli would,i gave up with my twister fp for many reasons,bad performance,stabilty,quality,BROKEN:/ contra's dont look right to me but this seems perfect like a bit of both,what do you think:)
I have both the mCX and mSR (mCX being E-Flight's coaxial). If they came out with the mSR beforehand, I don't think I would have bout the mCX at all, it's just as stable as that little guy. There's a tad bit difference given that it is a single rotor, but I am really amazed at how well it can just sit there and hover. I'd say go for it. Just make sure of a few things, that the servo arms aren't hitting the canopy and that the blades balance out a bit, every little bit helps. Try it!
Thanks very much thats exactly what i needed to know, i will prob go for bind and fly and get the 6i tx then i will have a decent tx to replace my ageing skysport 6 heli set which is about 12yrs old!! :O and as far as i can tell also use the tx for surface use for my tracked vehicle project.
Good call on the DX6i if you're looking to use it for anything else beyond the one heli, I've got that and a dx7 and having something that you can program is so nice compared to the stock configuration hard-set transmitters.
Thats something i was concerned about with a computer TX was all the overcomplicated programming but after checking a couple of reviews both on youtube the DX6i with the rolling scroller button looks perfect for all my needs and im now looking forward to a new set and a TX is only £90!! which is a bargain:)
It is a little known fact that a running video camera increases the earths gravitational pull by at least 10 fold within a 100 yard radius. I am surprised anyone gets any flight footage. ;-)
NO DOUBT. Thanks to JMICHAELSMITH01's recommendations, I did pick up a small HD video camera that mounts onto a hat very well with some velcro. So hopefully next time I do any flying videos it will be easier to watch, as his are great with nothing but a hat-cam. Even if it looks like you've grown a third-eye... :)
Thanks. Expo (short for exponential) is a setting on any programmable transmitter that lets you numb the movement of your sticks when they're near the center. Think of it like steering on a car (loose compared to tight). It only affects the area around the center of the stick though. When set, expo makes it so that your stick movements aren't as drastic as they could be (great for learning to hover).

See ya on the flipside,
