e-Ark X-400 - MX400 > Video - First "real" flight

Here is a couple segments from my first real flight with the x400. Not sure why yet, but the esc cut out a few times. I'm flying with the stock paddles, but I'm going to switch to lighter ones before I fly next...

Disclaimer: Video is crappy

I got to the field late today and everyone had left, so my car roof held the camera I used my editing software to zoom in on the area where the heli was most of the time, so the quality isn't great.

Since my car didn't do a great job of tracking the heli, I was forced to edit out more than 3/4 of the video, and missed some of the "good stuff." I'll get some better videos next weekend.

Well, I just loosened my tail belt some and went from 2,400 to 2,550rpm. That might be why the esc was cutting out; pulling too many amps b/c of tight tail belt.

Thanks, I made some changes, and I think its going to be better now. Hopefully I'll be able to get another video this afternoon.
