MartialArtist -> WOW! Cheap battery worked wonder after a crash! READ THIS! (7/18/2003 12:12:35 PM)

Well, I decided to fly my Hummingbird for the first time after tweaking it. I flew it about 40 feet up in the air and when the wind took it from me, I just killed the motor and it went nose first into the ground! :D one of the flybar paddles snapped off. I took the small broken piece out of the paddle and put it back on the heli. I adjusted the flybar, so they were even out.
Here's the strange part.. I put in the lighter green color bird seed pack while still using the high pitched (Got messed up during the crash) stock motor, my heli actually HOVERED MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY!! :confused: To top it off, the battery pack lasted over 24 minutes! Is this normal for a CHEAP pack? :stupid: I had people watching me and was AMAZED and asked how long does the battery lasts.. I didn't know what to say. lol!!
Another thing, my Hummingbird hovers off the gorund nice and strong with only my throttle going 1/4th the way up. I must have done SOMETHING right for being a complete newbie, but I am good with electronics and good with my hands. (No sick inside jokes please) :D
What do you think may have caused my heli to work smoother and the battery lasting almost half an hour??? :eek:
After looking over teh prices for spare parts, I'm going to buy TWO more HB kits for parts. It's a WASTE and much more expensieve buying one piece by piece..
