=== Upgrade planning ===
* More powerfull motors !** DYS BE1806 2300KV http://www.banggood.com/DYS-BE1806-2300KV-Brushless-Motor-2-3S-for-Mini-Multicopters-p-933192.html** 18g 88.8W http://fpvracing.ch/en/motors/62-emax-mt1806-2280kv-cw.htmlProps 5045
* better frame
** expensive 150$ http://www.minihquad.com/frames/blackout-mini-h-quad/
*** carbon http://www.banggood.com/H250-ZMR250-250mm-Carbon-Fiber-Mini-Quadcopter-Multicopter-Frame-Kit-p-933185.html
* Better FPV antennas, stock are shitty with Skyzone kit (according to comments on HK)

=== Batteries ===
** A good trick to test is to charge the cells individually using the balance cable, it's much faster than the balance mode that needs to discharge overcharged cells a lot
=== Transmission Issue/Fix/WIP ===
* <s>Having some problems with the vTX right now, apparently at full throttle. Electrical perturbations ?</s> Good, got some new [http://fpvracing.ch/en/fpv-accessories/87-circular-polarized-58ghz-antenna.html? antennas]
