    Flying around dam/river in VA/TN

    the first part is a bit to long, i lose my focus.... i like the music, the environment is beautiful, the footage calm. sometimes i see the props, it is distracting me.... where is it? i'm not familiar with the terms VA and TN (Tenesee?) send in more footage.... i would love to see it

    only 2 minutes flyingtime....?

    so, today I gave it another try. Voltage to start with was 12.5. I flew almost 5 minutes, so that was an improvement. I flew very carefully, no extremes. Then the red light started flashing. In the software I did set the failsafe to 10.8 and 10.5 volt. When I came home I measured the voltage...

    just steady flying, it's not my first heli but I don't want to make a false start ;) Just a gopro underneath... also did some flying without the gopro, same story. no abnormal heat so I think it's the lipo or the charger. Ordered some new ones but there in backorder at the moment..... I try...

    a couple of hours, till the led was green on the charger. Even over night.... And at first I used 3 A but than the voltage would not go beyond 11.5 Volt. So I did switch to 1 A. Now it's charging tull 12.5 volt. Failsave is at 11.5 volt, momentarily.

    Hi, my new phantom only flys for about 2 minutes, than the red flashing starts. Lipo charched till 12.5 V. After flying is still is 11,5 or even more.... What do you reacon? What is the first fail-save-voltage I can use ? And the second? thanks for any tips. Flip
