Esky Belt CP V2 Helicopter - Flight around the close (Still learning!)

Still learning to fly this thing but as it snowed and the wind was low thought I would capture some footage. Belt CP V2 with minor upgrades including, Align Blades, Carbon vertical and horizontal stabliser, tower pro servo's. Video captured with a Nokia N95 held in place with a technical upgrade of a rubber band!

Hi there! Hope you don't mind me asking, but how'd you stop the n95 vibrating and/or wobbling about using the elastic bands?? I've tried this on my king3, but the phone picks up too much vibration!! (it's ok slung under the heli facing down, but makes for rather boring video lol!!)

Nice flying though!

@LeChave Well I used about 3 elastic bands going around the skids and the skid supports. Criss crossed them about and then managed to get the phone wedged in between them. Its hard to explain but the phone would be under the main gear and the elastic bands criss cross between both sides, putting strain upwards and holding phone in place...I should have taken a photo but never thought of it.

Thanks mate, changed the blades and the washers too. Seems to fly ok but will need to check the tracking as I think its out a bit...

@snorkelbear Cheers for your reply! I've managed to get it to work by attaching it with some velcro straps just under where the main gear is, it does work with hardly any vibration, but only with training gear attached, as the skids aren't deep/tall enough. But all this is redundant now, as i'm waiting for the Muvi micro camcorder to arrive and i'll use that instead!!! (the poor old king3 didn't really like the weight of the nokia slung under it lol!)
