Testing out spots with IR / PowerPlay... still learning how to use it for a future idea. Batteries kept freezing me out of the last 30 seconds of flight... I need one of them Ethix-brand pre-heater bags or something.

BAT: Turnigy Nano-tech 300mah 2S 45~90C Lipo Pack
Added JST, 5V Beeper, Silicone Conformal Coating and black glint tape (hopefully I won't lose it with all these mods). I modded the Beetle lens for IR / night vision after removing it from the VTX. I used a VTX from a FireFly, cause it supports SmartAudio. I direct-soldered the "URUAV Micro UXII Stubby RHCP" to the FireFly VTX and secured it between the rear props on the bottom.

My second and last session with the CL-0615-14 motors, cause dinging that trashcan killed one; bent shaft / won't spin. I finally felt what it feels like to partially lose control link in the air... sluggish control, and you can watch it basically continue action based on old commands. Apparently my torso isn't radiotransparent at 2.4GHz (makes sense; same freq as microwave ovens and I'm a giant bloody bag of water).
4:07 - 5:06 = ∆59
691m in 59s = 11.71m/s 26.19Mph (piloted faster)
7:58 - 8:18 = ∆20
217m in 20s = 10.85m/s 24.27Mph
9:39 - 9:56 = ∆17
217m in 17s = 12.76m/s 28.55Mph (full tilt = 0.85Mph slower than my best on stock H8 motors)

1 of 4 packs before the rain came down and resulted in total "RXLOSS". Still gotta take it all back apart and coat it up, plus fix the camera now. Session edit to follow.

The board mask was covering a bit more copper "+" pad, with vias... so I sand-papered it off and used 22awg... and welders to fix it without a total rebuild (I direct-soldered the motor wires; would've been grr). I screwed around with tuning... anyone get flutter with Kabab's suggested tune from the build guide?
I gotta pack the lab up, more later.

Broke the same arm again on a light hit in the grass, seriously. The arm design on this frame is absolutely pathetic. 3 spares left ; ( Carbon frames are ridiculously fragile. Once again OSD ruined UART so no new tune... expo was too high.

This is not a fun product to use!
Regular boring location; just testing the DVR and annoyingly complex and time-consuming post-production software pipeline.
