    Can NOT hover under 8ft / auto decend?

    I have actually started to have the same issue....I am not sure if it is at 8ft or not but after upgrading (I assume that is the problem) it is not holding altitude. After a few minutes it clears up.

    Lost my whole new setup

    I went to Search and Rescue Controller school and did a LOT of these types of models before I retired. I am interested if he found it and where it was! If he was closer I would even head out and help with the search!

    Lost my whole new setup

    Try looking in these areas. I would start with the green area (not knowing the winds from 1.2k down) plus you should not get an extreme amount of drift once the motors shut off but it sounds like it still had some power and was in FS so should have been making a little headway towards you...

    Where was your launch spot in reference to the red star on the map? I have found that I can only hear them for about 600-700 meters.

    Lost my whole new setup

    Night Flying/low light Video?

    I was just thinking about this earlier! I was thinking about keeping it close but putting some electrical tape over the lights......would only have the lights in the back about 1/2 way covered. If it was not so windy I was going to try it.

    New battery life

    depends on what you have installed.....everything adds weight and everything draws power. Operating temps affect it too....when I was flying in the cold I was getting 12-13 min flights......I am up to 15-16 now. Everything 15-20th cycle it down past 8% and fully charger it again. Read...
