Pictures of the E-Sky Dauphin flying.

Here are some pictures of an airborne E-sky Dauphin. This is the result of a short photo shoot. These pictures are taken by my brother who has done a great job !

The wheels leave the lawn. The helicopter is in the air.

Turning and gaining height.

Hovering in front of the camera lens.

Taking off to higher places.

I must mind the wind here. It's evening, the setting sun shines on the Dauphin.

All is under control and the sky is blue...

... and there's one happy pilot smiling :-)

Battery power is lowering ... time to descent.

Slowly coming down ...

Guiding the machine in ...

On its way to the Landing Zone. This was a fun flight ! ! !


! Many thanks Bro for the pictures !

Charging batteries, replacing blades and FLIGHT !

Charging the lipo battery for the helicopter and 8 batteries for the transmitter.

This is a 2 cell battery and it is connected to the E-sky "balancer charger" so that both cells are being charged equally.

Two lipo's should buy me flying time a little less than 20 minutes.

Charged batteries in the 2.4G transmitter.

Fully charged. All lights burn.

Replacing damaged blades.

First flight. It's a tricky business to make photos and fly at the same time.
There's no wind and I'm giving it a shot in the garden.
The camera is on timer. (10 sec) - The helicopter must be at the right place when the shutter goes off.
Oops, the battery falls down. (I should tape it so that it stays in)
I certainly had fun flying the E-sky Dauphin ! !
