First, let me say thanks to Pete at Elektrorc.com for excellent service and light-speed shipping of my Protos kit. Thanks Pete! :clap:

The videos speak for themselves, and there are full details of the setup on the video description page if you visit Vimeo. Thanks go to Dave "lonelasso" for the video (and running commentary as always ;)).

That is a beautiful heli - LOVE the sound as it flared near the camera. Amazing sound. I love the no-gear concept... Awesome!

Glad to know your happy with the decision. I think that will be my next bird. What kind of batteries are you running?

Thanks guys! So far I'm totally thrilled with the Protos. And yes, the SOUND is one of my favorite things about it. :clap:

I'm running 7S A123 packs in it. More recent flights look like I should get 6 minutes + reserve in flight mode 1 (2400 rpm) and around 4 minutes in flight mode 2 (2800 for the video, but I'll reduce to 2600 soon). AUW is 1750g.
