Blade 400 turned into FPV ship

So I did the FPV stuff on my fixed wing, time to try it on rotary wing! The camera is a cheap $12 unit from overseas. The camera was inteded for use as a low light security camera, so it didn't fare so well in daylight. Should work great for night flights. (soon)

Hovering is harder than it looks, but I'm on my way!

Awesome. Give up a ballpark figure for this rig in USD?

[JlerchTampa]

R900 receiver = $60

T905 transmitter = $65

Video Camera = $12

Video Goggles = $150 (used)

I refuse to add up the cost of the heli, rc gear, and crash parts over the last year ;-)

does this heli seem like it has enough power to lift the gear, or does it feel gutless when flying? thanks!

What kind of cam are you using? Good angle, good shooting. Keep up the good work! 5 stars

you might want to stick with the big battery you are using ,

im using a 260mah fuji 9v (8.4v) battery and its dead after 1 flight
