That's really fantastic, Tony! Very cool! FPV is going to open up an all new world for you that will be full of all new experiences. You better order some more batteries because once you start, you aren't going to want to stop. ha ha ha

Not to mention a charging solution that will speed up the charge cycles. No need to be waiting for packs to charge. Good luck your almost ready to take the plunge.

Excellent, FPV is almost a must for those minis. It's where the real fun begins.
Who knows, once you fly FPV the helicopters may become ornaments like mine have. :)
I have only 5 flight packs but I also have a large deep cycle battery and a charger that comes with me when I fly.

lol...I've had some of my Youtube subscribers tell me that once I get into FPV, I probably won't be flying my helicopters much. Not a chance! I love the sound that comes from the helicopters too much. I like how the helicopters look while they are in the air. No way am I done with my helicopters, lol.

Yeah that's right URI, my charger only handles 5 amp.. Thanks mate, I'll be ready when I get to Lee's, just a case of sticking tx stuff on quad and away

I've only got 2 batteries at the moment what Lee ordered for me... Guess another 10 won't come in wrong...haha

Yeah but Derek, it sounds like there's much more fun in fpv, hence my reason. I had the choice of fpv or another heli... Fpv won...lol

You wont have to worry about charge times at Lee's place. His 4010 duo should have you flying quickly even with two packs.

That's awesome! I love my Fatshark Dominators but these look to be a bit better than my goggles.

Well according to spec and YT vids they are better but like everything else they have there pros and cons... Lol

The front facing camera looks very handy, things do look further away than they actually are... Hmmm..one touch button to flick between front and received signals..

Also the twin receivers looks good, it automatically display the best picture from the strongest signal, I've got 2 different types of antenna to fit on so hopefully that will be good..

I can't really test them with fpv yet until we get to Lee's pad...

I haven't yet Treff, been really busy sorting mobilehome out for our epic trip to Spain. I'll do my best to get some video done tomorrow, I have to go out in jeep tomorrow so I'll stick it on the screen..
