Just rewatched it, did sound like the motors were on most of the way down, not sure now. This particular receiver (spektrum race quad diversity) as of late has been giving me problems binding. Guess i'll put a turnigy receiver in it when i fix it. That is the last of the quads i have on spektrum
I lost video Jerry, thats why i think it has to do with my lipo, this same battery got bent in a crash yesterday , its a 2600mah.
Maybe just lost video, not sure now

It really felt like a power loss (video and throttle) to me, I was well within my normal range

Flight deck is full today... Big day of flying ahead with a friend who started when I did but gave up after a month. He's back! He will fly the Predator X v1 today... His gear isn't flight ready at the moment.
I ordered a frame for my beater, i know, i wasn't supposed to buy anything quad related till after christmas but i was worried about killing another motor. And im weak...lol. Ordered a bunch of The dal 5x4x4 pc props, found them for $1.99 a set. These props are great in tight areas and for proximity flying. Also good for beginners cause it slows ya down a bit and is very locked in. The frame is the Nidici Black Pearl stretch, it was $30.

I think we're moving into new territory here. Are we going to call these "beaters" or "bangers"? Personally, I like "bangers" better. I mean, we're not trying to beat them up but we're definitely going to bang the heck out of them trying to learn new things. Okay guys, time to chime in, "beaters" or "bangers"?

Roger that. It's gonna take a bit to see if the new brand hold up. I can already vouch for the Black Labels, they've been really good bats. Just a bit more expensive but cheaper and better than many others.
I'm figuring most of the batteries are like TV's, there are 3 or 4 factories pumping them all out and just throwing different labels on them.

I guess I'm boring everyone. My last Leopard video only got 4 views. That's about 6-8 fewer than normal! Chef is going to have a field day with those numbers. Good thing I'm not trying to make money at this!

You are probably right about the batteries, i think there's only 2 lithium mines in the world also. Probably a couple manufactures making single cells and smaller guys wiring them into packs and heat shrinking them with their logo
If you use the word crash in the title ya seem to get more views....lol
