Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Mine can lift 2.5oz (extra) stock. In needs a fresh battery and is a big sluggish. I hope to upgrade to LiPoly soon and will attempt to use my Blade-CP for video then. My first attempt was very shakey. I have a 200mw 2.4GHz Tx, KX-141 CCD camera, converter and 150mah 8.4v battery. I tried to share the 9.6v NiMh battery but lost too much head speed. I replaced my shaft and balanced my blades back out today and will take another crack at it.

I would guess with a LiPoly setup my video system will be no problem for the blade, and I can cut the weight of the 8.4v battery by sharing the LiPoly. I should be set up with LiPoly after Christmas.

Here is my shakey first attempt...
