Status: offline 		If you all agree with me, we can add an extra point, for every hover-second in each cp or cp pro contender.
Example.
A guy with a cx total hover time 135 seconds, final score = 135 points (plus added stability and tail hold)
A guy with a CP total hover time 70 seconds, final score= 140 points (Plus added stability and tail hold)
What do you all think?

There's nothing stopping the CP guys from starting their own contest!

I agree, it's all about the setup.

I've been giving this a shot too with my video camera. Got something around 20 seconds, but improvement still being made.

Hehehe, I've got great footage of some wrecks while filming and rushing back to the radio to land at the last sec...One in particular, my bird comes streaking back and smacks into the remote & me. Might have to hold the radio up to the camera as you did. Damage control...

Thanks. I'm using the DX7. Much, much better than the stock remote.
