Yeah, that strut is doing some shaking around, I wasn't sure if it was actually doing that or if it was interferance on the film from the RPMs or if it's being caused by prop wash as it's the front most strut. How did I fit the camera? our best friend of course.....sticky tape, 2 strips and it was solid  Bare in mind it's weighing in at just 23 grams, it's about the same weight and dimensions as a pocket usb drive. My LiPo charger still hasn't arrived yet (coming from HK) but when it does I've got a full new cub to fly on LiPos. I've been trying to keep it as light as possible. My old cub will fly the "heavy" 9.6 1400's only. |

Here's my first video of my SC flying on 11.1v LiPo......... uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8MhPD9ccAp4My next video will be mounted underneath for better ground picture. The best points are very short take off and endless climb ability. This video was taken around 21:00 when the light was fading fast so sorry about the quality but still watchable. Enjoy the video and please leave comments, thanks guys. |

:)well done on the lipo change cybersoft, good video, look forward to different camera mount to see the height. Being in Scotland surly you could find a big hill and throw it off the top of that, the height and views would be awesome. How did you convert to lipo  just pick out that bit in the black box and stick em in |

How did you convert to lipo just pick out that bit in the black box and stick em in yep, remove the jumper and stuff them in there. make sure to mount them some were close to stock to not throw off your center of gravity. |

I assume as long as the lipo is no more than 12volts its easy to pick a good battery. |

Hi garvey76, I've converted to deans on all my batteries now. Male deans on SC and charger and female deans on all my batteries. I had to get a balance charger from ebay, this clips onto my car battery to charge the lipo's, it was around £26 from hong kong, 2 weeks delivery. I bought 2 lipo's at £21.99 each, get them here........ www.overlander.co.uk/products/default.asp?cid=2&scid=33&pid=2238As duck9191 said, pop the jumper of the reciever and you're ready for fun :-) Your comment has now got me thinking, where can I find a large hill to fly from :-) |

:DWow a nice steady flight 4 once. ;D Looks very flat for scotland.Nice views. last time i was up your way i went to perth and it was hills, hills and more hills. Im off to the isle-of-wight next week, cant wait as there are loads of interesting places to fly and catch on camera, like the prisons ;D just cant get caught. going to take some risks while down there but results hopefully will be worth it. WATCH THIS SPACE. |
