My Swift video

[thanhTran]

The weather was really nice and I'had been trying to get a video of my Swift. I finally made one with a digital camera strapped to my forhead. Before that I was trying KX131 camera with a camcorder to record, but quality wasn't good.

So here is the video: youtube.com/watch?v=RStBQYPE5sM

It has a Neu 1910 1.5 motor, 9S A123 cells (taken from Dewalt 36 volt pack). These batteries really make the cost of large E heli go down quite a bit. I don't think I ever use LIPO for large heli unless I don't crash often. Speaking of crash, I just finished rebuilting it again yesterday after a hard crash I had last week.

The Swift sure is nice. I've been using to take pictures/video from the air. It also helped me to learn inverted hover (since it's large & stable).

Thanks for watching.

Thanks Steve :).

I hope I can do some inverted circuit by the end of this year. I'm still crashing often. During my last crash, the heli flew straight to the ground inverted, just bout 3 feet from a Trex 600 & its 14Mz radio. :oops: 8). I guess I was still lucky.
