First real test flight after an initial hover test, filmed August 2021.
Not my machine - I was approached by a good friend to build it for them. The catch? I'd never built a kit helicopter before!
I'm nervous as all hell throughout this flight, I'm still a relatively new pilot. I'd probably have had to file for bankruptcy if I'd crashed..!
Telemetry was partially setup for this flight - the TX kept reporting low ESC voltage when flying in idle-up 2. The lipos were second hand and only fit for the bin we discovered. At one point it reported as low as 40V - on a 14S system that's ~ 2.85v per cell(!). We couldn't find any new stock of 7S lipos anywhere at the time, so we just used these for testing and haven't flown with them since.
