Yes, I power-looped the iFlight Helion 10 (twice!)

- Loving my iFlight Helion 10.
Takeoff conditions - sunny, clear, 50F/10C, light wind.
8000 mah Lion (only charged to 4.0V, landed at 3.2V)
GoPro11 video (Cinematic/4K/L)
============================================
Power loops at 4+45 and 8+30
Flight not narrated - audio is just the sound of the motors and the wind.
Nice, questiion. I noticed the Antenna's are RP-SMA - are those U.FL to SMA pigtails swappable to SMA in the canopy? And what length are they? Thank you so much.
iFlight does use UFL to RP-SMA pigtails. I would assume UFL to SMA could be used (instead), but almost all of my drones use RP-SMA connectors (so I've never investigated). For a more exact answer, you might send a note (email) or post a question on the iFlight Facebook page -- the smartest person I know is Pat Byars (#iFlightUSARepairCenter) -- he helps everyone (drop him a note).
I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my question JC! thank you!

Could you explain how you make this nice Telemetry overlay?
software from Telemetry Overlay -- it takes GoPro w/GPS data (and other data sources). goprotelemetryextractor.com/
thx@@jc.cantrell
How is in hot weather
"Hot" of course is a relative term. I've been flying the drone since January 2024. I flew it in 90F+ temps a few weeks ago with no abnormalities -- and did more power loops and light free-style. I place to post that video on CZcams next week
A little jumpy keep up the flying
Great that you're flying that thing nice and slowly... otherwise the tiny 5" esc will catch fire.
I've had no problem with the ESC and expect none. It is rated at 55amps. I have this ESC in many other drones (one other 10-inch, several 7" and 5") and have never had a problem with any of them.
@@jc.cantrell It's fine on a 5-7 inch low-end quad, but 10" is pushing it... it obviously works if you fly "slow around the driveway", so to speak, as you were. Good day -
@@mlentschI’ve had no issues either. 4 motors 55 amps is 220 amps
@@matthewbarnard461 Go ahead and draw 220 amps more than a few times and see what happens.
@@mlentsch the same could be said for any other size esc i don't see the problem here
