Micro 1st inverted circuits

[Lee]

Got my hat cam on to film the exciting first circuits hehehe.
Not really exciting to watch but here it is anyway.
Also noticed today that my MCPX was very under powered. You would suspect the battery if it was just one, but all of them were the same??? Should i suspect the motor? It flies but the power only last 2mins before i can't flip it anymore. 3 days ago i was getting 5mins of powerful flight and another 2 just bobbing around???

I would definately give motor a check... Don't know how... But mine died in quite a bit less flights than yours (if hours is dead)

Are you sure you don't have the camera mounted upside/down, Lee???

Seriously . . . great job

Thanks guys. Gonna try it with the 600 now.

Batteries are probably shot! That's my guess

Batteries are all of different ages and all did the same thing on the same day. I'm dubious that they would all go at exactly the same time. Looking at other peoples issues on the web, it seems that the motors have a very short life span.

Eflite batteries are rubbish imo ( if thats what youre using)
mine died after very few flights on my msr. I did find the motor very hardwearing. Unlike my Walkera 4#3b motor!
Nice flying though bet it feels good cant wait till im at that level!!
I did my first backward figure of 8s today. Im a long way off inverted though!!

I only have two eflite. The rest are Turnigy nano techs. Just ordered a new motor. lets see if that makes a difference.
