Blimey! What are your radio settings to get such long flight times..??
I only seem to get around 7-8 mins on a 2100 pack...

Anyone consider putting on the pool noodles on the landing gear, and putting on another 2200 pack for double flight time.

Will a 450 even fly that weight?

The 450 will carry 250 grams but it flies like a heavy bus. No chance of an auto...

Goosebumps, Geek and Jacky, goosebumps. I pm'd the both of you! And by the way thanks. Tim

Wow! those were both awesome. I just finished my 450 and am ready to try my first FPV flight. I have been wondering if it would be easier to have part of the heli in frame as a reference when flying. I think having nothing in frame is the best visually but probably takes a little more concentration to stay aware of the birds attitude during flight. Jacky or Geekdisk, do either of you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Luke

geekdisk, could you post your setup. I like to know which camera you use. I have the same heli and would love to do that. Thanks for the video.
