CB180D Flight (camera tied on TX)

I tried to wrap up a sony cybershot onto the top of my TX and capture a flight. This was not going to work very well as I kept having to hold the TX up and towards the Heli instead of where I normally have it set.
Too much distraction, but learned that you can't do a whole lot trying to fly and DV at the same time. ; )
The weather however, was perfect. . .

If you like this model, go and order the 180Z. It ROCKS. WAY better than the D. variable pitch tail, shaft driven, single BL main motor, 3 axis gyro. killer little flyer.

one thing i should mention is to max your expo throws to 125%. it gives way more performance. Stock set up on these from Walkera have zero swash play. Must have max'd out to fly in wind. . . yes the motor is upgraded. tail too.

gday,is this heli as stable as everyones saying?id hate to buy one only to find its as hard as every other one ive tried to fly

[ultragroove1]

@DoogleWho This is one of the best most stable helis I have ever flown. If you can fly a co ax, you will fly this with no problems. Lots of fun and very durable - easy to repair.

Woah, cool mountains :-) Oh, and a nice helicopter too.

Whatever dude. This heli can't be flown in any wind.

[boogieman221thx]

beautiful landscape. where do u live?

[kelsehoffman]

@DoogleWho Thats cause you suck. JK. Its stable but you will find a way to crash it. you probably wont know how to control it in wind and over compensate and crash. I did but i learned quick. Now I can fly 100 feet in the air and fly over the trailers by my house and piss of my neighbors and fly high speed loops in the air with out losing control even in ten mph winds. Its fun flying in the wind because you get more speed if you cut diagonally into the wind.

@dooglewho. glad you asked that mate, wanna get one aswell, but wasnt sure if it was as stable as everyone says, and also @ ultragroove. i had my camera attached to my forehead with rubber bands around my head filming my co ax. worked well but u might get a few marks, lol. nice vid by the way!

[sulimonster]
