Hey how ya doing:) Nice video tho the Funcopter looks a bit of a handful. Not quite as easy as the Funcub

Hi, thx - all's well here. Not sure if you noticed it but I got an oktokopter now. For aerial pics - see my vid okto wintershooting...

The funcopter is great fun! I'm not really good at flying it by normal sight - but it's great and easy to be flown by goggles over FPV! See the vids for that - and youll see round my 'hood ;-)

¿What kind of battery are you using in this video?

I also got a funcopter, with hyperion vx g3 lipo 3s 11.1V 2200mAh, and I can only fly for 3 minutes with enough power.

After this time, it won't elevate more than 2 feet.

@rvilchis

I use medium good turnigy (2200mah 35c)

they give me about 6-7 mins with enough power, after that I still have 40% left but the voltage is around 10,5v and thats too little for good RPM and good power...

So key is finding a good battery wich has very little voltage drop until the end...

Or starting with using lifepo batterys with more voltage from the start (between 3s and 4s lipo)

@Raptor50aus I have to agree. I liked this heli till I was hit with sticker shock. Then again, should anything from multiplex shock us with its price? My ES600 cost less to get in the air then this bird. My next heli will be the Century Swift NX.

Dont buy this heli

Fixed pitch for $550 FAIL

I flew one and I hated it

Schönes Video. Meiner ist auch gestern angekommen. Die ersten drei Akkus sind geleert. Habe leider keinen Kameramann. :-( Fliegt sich nicht schlecht, oder?
