Main reason why to do so, is that I ordered too heavy fpv (2 times, one set for me, second for my sister). I hav also ordered set of 380 mAh 35C 1S LiPos, 5 pieces. 1S lipo mentioned I have made 2 2cells out of them. I have tested the Dualsky 260 mAh 35C 2s as well, but the C rating was too low and the battery comes hot and the quad looses power after cca 20 second. With the 2 cells I have made is te flight time about the same, My theory is because the motors also gets very hot and demagnetuzation is ruining the power. 2s made from 1s NOTE: I used the same label, it is not 3,7V My fleet Today testing showed very interesting result, the temperature of motor is enough to melt the plastic of the frame CONCLUSION: I do not recommend using 2s lipo, I am sad, because I wanted to take it to my vacation at the friday, but I will have to wait for lighter camera Dont do the same mistake. The camera is eachine EF1 Any recommendations for light enough camera? Cheers from Czech! DIY my way through as I allways do!

Do you use the FX FX798T? Thanks (22-Sep-2016, 11:44 AM)Liquidas Wrote: I wonder if it's possible to run them on 2S using smaller props, f.e. hubsan ones :? It is not posible, because the hubsan ones are bigger than the eachine ones.

Do you use the [color=#333333][size=medium][font=Arial]FX FX798T? yes, they are the same as FX797: http://intofpv.com/t-difference-of-fx797...vtx-camera • Posts: 10 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 2 in 2 posts Likes Given: 2 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 0 Just a word of caution - My E010 will only lift the FX FX798T (not in a case) for a few seconds before it does not have the power to fly Maybe I got weak motors in my E010 or an extra heavy FX FX798T ? Either way mine is not capable of FPV as stock Still waiting to find a good inexpensive working solution to the problem I am hearing more people who are finding the same (maybe second wave of E010's are weak?)

I glued the Eachine EF-01 Camera to an Eachine H8 (flashed with acro firmware): twas impressive. Flew pretty well. But that camera is SO much bulkier than the FX798t. Bigger in every dimension. Really hoping that this is just a clone of the FX798t. I put one of them on my H8 Acro and can't believe how much fun it is ... besides the TERRIBLE transmitter I have just as much fun with that as I do with my 8mm SciSky build (which is too heavy - will fix) The H8 seems to be pretty capable though - without the FPV you can tack on 750mah batteries just fine (although - i was just doing that the bring the batteries down to 3.8 ... you'd probably overheat the motors if you flew the whole battery) Have you tried mounting the FPV rig on the hubsan in the middle? I doubt it can handle the imbalance. Also, if you plan on keeping the FPV cameras you can replace those giant clovers with whip antenna to save a gram or two (Oscar detailed this in his review of the EF-01) .... • Posts: 18 Threads: 2 Likes Received: 9 in 3 posts Likes Given: 0 Joined: Feb 2016 Reputation: 1 (22-Sep-2016, 10:58 PM)CesiumSalami Wrote: Have you tried mounting the FPV rig on the hubsan in the middle?

BUT the one change that has made ALL the difference to mine is to snip off the 2 braces that attach each hoop Extreme and a one way mod without buying a new frame - but has completely transformed the quad for the better Quad now has a LOAD more punch - and is still capable of hitting the ceiling whilst LVC is flashing No more having to use full throttle to stay level - I am getting pretty much 3min 30 perfectly usable FPV flight time before it starts feeling a bit soggy...and it will still hit the ceiling at full throttle I'm not convinced it's just about the weight saving - but more about hindered airflow with the braces still in place OK it may be a little less crash resistant, but it has survived a few big tumbles tonight without incident I NOW get it what its all about and am loving the E010 as an indoor FPV ship Regards Rob • Posts: 5,319 Threads: 673 Likes Received: 3,156 in 1,744 posts Likes Given: 2,031 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 (10-Oct-2016, 09:29 PM)Robocog Wrote: BUT the one change that has made ALL the difference to mine is to snip off the 2 braces that attach each hoop Extreme and a one way mod without buying a new frame - but has completely transformed the quad for the better do you mean snipping 2 of the 3 struts? that is really extreme lol • Posts: 10 Threads: 1 Likes Received: 2 in 2 posts Likes Given: 2 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 0 10-Oct-2016, 10:26 PM (This post was last modified: 10-Oct-2016, 10:33 PM by Robocog.)
