Saw your other blather too; Yes, you'll get some video soon. As soon as I get away from the troll lady and her hounds of heck
You weren't doing the kind of flying where "pendulum effect" is going to be an issue; do a few funnels and chain-flips and you'll see what I'm talking about.
Yeah, I'll get into the Spider FPV again once I finish my Mod Blogs. Lotta material there yet.

Yah, the UMX brushless and niiice. What I most likely did was overheat the on board esc.
My flying skill set is such that now I'm hauling A S S!
My confidence is high now that (mercifully) my skill set is jelling.
I put a drop or two of oil in it but stopped flying WIDE open.
You can appreciate this: @ 0900 is in the morning in FLA it's forking 80+ degrees.
I flew it at 3/4 throttle and it did fine!
Yah, I have NO desire for acro or aero batics beyond a norm. Therefore I might not see the pendulum effect. My wallet muscle can't tolerate things like that, plus,
I'm OLD!
I'm just happy to fly and not crash so much after ALL these years!
If you wan't to laugh peruse my old viddys and start in the early days.
ALL my glory is caught for the world to see.
Crashin' and Flyin' then it led to Flyin' and Crashin' then mostly Flyin'!
I used to get soooo bummed out crashing. Now I ONLY get bummed out if I DIDN'T get it on viddy!
All the best!
