Some flying from Russia. The movie was taken by cameraphone, so the quality is sux, and moreover the picture was processed by VirtualDub Deshaker so it does not shake much but has some frames dropped.

Here we are.

The config is: Stock motor, CC ICE 80HV, 8717, DS760+DS650, Rotortech 610, AR7100 + LiFePo 1450mAh, Nano 2650 35C. Pinion 10T@1900rpm governed.

Default Homebrew canopy paintjob

Painted matching 6HV and Atom canopies with spray cans. Simple, clean, visible... I don't airbrush, but these turned out okay. Now all they need is a few coats of a nice, easy to apply clear.
Also, been enjoying my 6HV on FBL using mini V-bar!







Compass representation at the Dayton, OH event last Saturday. 6HV is popular!

Thanks for kind comments guys. Cullen that's okay.. it was a good event, good weather, but not necessarily spectacular overall... fun and laid back though. I'm sorry we didn't capture any good video, and mid afternoon my camera battery died.

INSERT:
OlegM,
I didn't mean to steal any potential thunder from ya... I meant to say good flying in that vid, even if not the best quality camera!

If you decide on the TM700 and you're working for a company that offers discounts through Corporate Perks, try going that route. When the camcorder came out, the prices hadn't started coming down from the MSRP of $999, but I was able to get mine for $750.

lazzie_d, Good flight... but something seemed different there. Don't know if it's just me, but it looks a bit underpowered and sounds like some resonance at peak RPMs... maybe that is just the vid fooling me?
What is your setup (stock?) and radio settings, like throttle curves, if you don't mind my asking?
