Heli vid #1

Heli vid #1. First day flying. Brother and I are just getting the hang of hovering, breaking some styrofoam wings along the way … and endangering our bodies in the process.

All we need now is a camera mount.

yessir -- I've actually mounted the camera, powered by two button batteries, but it only lasted for about 10 minutes. Very unclear, though. I'm working on running the second receiver, servo, and camera off of a telephone battery. To get super fancy, maybe even run everything off of the main battery pack. Also on the to-do list: increase the humidity of the air to see if it helps increase lift.
