Nice additions! I am surprised it can take off though with the extra weight- that battery that comes with it dies so quickly- so much so that I've shelved my walkera 52 as its useless now- it doesn't take off anymore. Surely you've upgraded the motor to brushless and added an ESC??? Unless they've made a new version of the walkera 52 thats more powerful??
Yes, I upgraded bl and ESC after few weeks I bought 52. With bl, I use 1000mAh 80g Lipo, althought total weight is 220g, but still strong enough to jump off and do a 20 min fleight.

It's a out of date model, just can fly but not good enough for learning heli flight.
Try a newer ones that has brushless motor, collected pitch tail controlled, 2.4G radio system.

I am impressed.this is a notoriously unstable little heli.

Unstable?
No idea about unstable, because this is my first heli.
Yes I spend lots of times to learn how to fly her, maybe that's why.

LOL, How did you install the lights on the blades?

Just tape LEDs on the blade and powered by a little battery at the top of main axis.

Thank you!

If it turns around on the ground you probably might have to adjust your Gyro. Well done!

Oh, didn't know how to adjust at that time, because I was confused with V1 and V2.
A little wag in flight is because tail motor is going to wear out the carbon brush.(take from GWS EDP20 and mount on a ESKY04 tail motor)
