I'm trying to get baseline weight to mah.

If this trend goes like expected I will be capable of near 10 min at 6.5 to7 lb TOW with 6000mah 3S batteries

Thanks Jerry
Yes thats correct almost 2.5 lbs and it was 4.6 mins @ 1189 mah according to my ET logger and was flying about the same style as in the video I posted

Actually not to bad the blue lights on the front are almost to bright kind of blinds you when it is coming towards you and you have to be well aware of your surroundings. Considering I don't have much experience flying heli type craft, I think I will do a lot more practicing in the daylight

Re: T-Copter my newest toy

I think I have this pretty well dialed in now and quite pleased on how it flies. Have attached a short video of it flying in my back yard at around 2:30 and 3:10 mark of the video I hold out the radio to show hands off the sticks. The quality of the video isn't great I think the Lumix is on it's last legs. Next up is converting it over to the Wii control system have ordered the parts and received a couple already just waiting on the Arduino Duemilanove to come so I can put it all together. May have to down size this or maybe go for a smaller quad for the Wii system time will tell
