Everything seemed fine until I lost signal with my heli. Not sure what happened, probably a lockout. I had no control which makes me believe that it was a another lockout. Crash was not bad, just broke a skid, everything else survived.

  • the camera broke?

  • no, just unplugged

  • That was too bad JumpJet101. I hope everything's ok other than that skid. What is a "lockout" anyway?

  • Thanks Partok81, everything is alright with the heli and the video equipment. I fixed it and it's back up in the air running great. A lockout is when my 2.4Ghz TX looses signal with the RX due to interference. It's kinda hard to belive that I had interference out there where I was but it's possible.

  • Hi Jump What band is the video TX on? 900 MHZ is recommended if you are flying with 2.4 Spectrum or Futaba Faast. I use 2.4 GHZ video Tx with my planes that have the 72 MHZ radios. If you have a 2.4 GHZ video, it can cut you range. Even if you have spectrum. The TX from video and RX for the heli are too close proximity! Same band cross modulate.

  • I'm using a 900MHz downlink with my DX7. Most of the time there isn't any issue and range seems pretty good. Even on that flight, I was able to go atleast a half mile and back before something interferred with it.

  • such a beautiful flight before the crash. I am glad your bird was not too badly damaged.

  • Thats why I set all my helicopters ESC's to do low power soft cutoffs. A helicopter is one thing that you should be able to draw every bit of power from. Because when the power is gone so is the aircraft. A plane can glide safely to land on a dead stick after power cutoff engages, helicopters can only autorotate & if your not high enough, bye bye chopper... I hope you changed your settings on your ESC to soft cutoff, at least then you can tell when your getting low on power... Good video

  • What OSD are you using

  • 2. ´´It is easier for beginners to use extra flybar weights. It is inexpensive and well worth the investment. Just make sure that you get your flybar paddles back on straight,´´ ( this is a comment of yours)

    CAN U TELL ME THE NAME OF THE EXTRA FLYBAR WEIGHTS, AND PLEASE EXPLAIN ME WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ´´paddles back on straight´´, MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD SO PLEASE... i bought a CP v2 as my first heli experience and in the second fly i crash bad so can u help me please

  • OMG I know how that feels!!!!! That the worst feeling is when u flying high and loose control! Its like ur falling urself

  • What camera is this?

  • Ответить на это видео...

  • Is that on the left an ammeter readout? Thirty odd amps, that's quite a powerful little motor you've got in there.

  • looks like a lipo cutoff.
