After purchasing the kit from a friend here in Australia in Sept 2024, I spent many hours isolating a very bad vibration, it was 80 on the Ikon vib scale, I eventually found the problem and fixed it, on the way improved the tail gear mesh, balanced the blades. The net result was the highest vib is now the motor at 1-1.5 on the Ikon scale. I was never ever happy with the kit lights, so upgraded them with a AR light kit, with a SX5 style search light, a big improvement. The video is my 10th flight with the model, since certification as required here in Australia as the model is 9.1 kg, models over 7 kg need to be inspected.
The slight wobble on take off was me trying to find the switch assigned to the lights. I’m getting 8 min on 12S5000.45C @ 1070 rpm with around 45% remaining, so could increase the flight time. A bit more practice to smooth out my flying🤞
