I had some Venom batteries and was getting 1/3 less flight time as compared to some no name batteries I had with the same mAh. I ended up returning them.

For gear guards I have seen the lids off gallon milk jugs used. don't know about the weight.

Got mine off ebay

I'm that list too. Paid a little extra for expedited shipping.

Check to be sure all the trims are centered. It will do that when it's close to the ground. It's riding on top of it's own prop wash. Pull it up 2-3 ft off the floor if it's still drifting back and to the left add a little forward trim & some right trim.

Why not just power the charger off the car battery?

When the video first started I thought to myself why is he trying to fly fpv nose in. I'm still collecting the needed equipment, but everything I have read or watched about fpv flying said to always have forward movement that it's real hard to hover in fpv especially when starting out. There...
