That is a big improvement over the 808 keychain cam. I am not sure mine is 720 p though like it says. I may have to get one of those.I still have another new one unopen of the # 3 (I THINK) 808 though so I may have to wait on that one. So far they make good black boxes ,LOL !

Cool what camera are you using? I just crashed mine due to a thermal shutdown from the Grayson combo v3 and 20amp esc mounted on top of fuse. Overheated and crashed into the top of a pine tree and no damge to the plane except shattered the wing spar.I have extended the control surfaces and just waiting on LED lights. Now it looks like I will have to buy a bigger ESC because of this overheating after only twenty flights or so with this motor..

@cyberian2007 I got the new #11 HD keychain camera. It's pretty sweet, though I was having a problem with it shutting down mid-flight because of a bad battery. I just replaced the battery so I'm hoping that fixed the problem.
And that's too bad about your ESC. I have a 25 amp ESC on mine and it's worked great with the Microjet motor so far. I've extended all my control surfaces too, which seems to help a lot. Though if I put too big an extension on the elevator it makes it stall too easily.

Yeah the stock FlySky setup didn't have the greatest range. I only used it that summer while still flying LOS and it would have occasional lockouts when flying near the limits of my sight. Now that I do FPV I'm using the same radio with a UHF long range system attached.

[@cyberian2007]

By the way I have the same Flysky fsct6b setup also and have been using the 808 keychain camera. Watchout for the overheating of the ESC on this Grayson setup.

At the time I did this flight yes. Now I use one 5000mah battery for the flight battery and a 500mah battery for my FPV system.
