I am getting closer. After balancing the blades and replacing my tail shaft, I finally got the vibrations down to an acceptable level. I can't wait to get outside...

I am using a 850Mah 3S Lipo for the helicopter and camera (using a 5v switched converter). The entire ship with camera setup weighs in at 11oz (up from 9oz for the stock blade with battery, using my rough cooking scale).

Excellent Job! That was great. I can't wait to see some video from it outside[8D]

The cat looked real amused

it looks like a video game, the back tail is trying to get YOU!

Yep, the tail did get a bit too close to both me and the cat that time. These little CP heli's are a handfull in the house.

Here is a shot from the back yard. I am fairly happy with the vibration level. It only gets bad once and a while (some specific RPM's). If it were not for the trees (and me being a chicken) I could have easily gained much more height. The blade has a ton of power with this setup, lift is no problem at all.

I got out today again (no wind) and got a shot in the street in front of my house. I just can't get higher without chickening out...
