Good deal Neil, I think I'm in the UK about half the year...

Look forward to your OBV too nitro!

Champ the battery actually is one of the main problems with the newer FCO2, many people have used a larger 1S and cured that. So that's probably cheap insurance running it off your RX. The newer ones can be ID'd by looking for a fingernail detent for splitting the case. There is a micro plug for the battery disconnect, so it would be easy to re-solder it to another battery for non-RC use.

I'll just throw out some general tips for the FCO2-

-be certain you have the lens flipped the right way, I threw out more than one video before I figured out how to flip the video 180* in WMM.
-it must be in 'PC' mode to charge
-yields better results attached firmly, I recommend not using the standoff mount, put your velcro on the cam back right over the 4 pin interface, also I always use a secondary tether/velcro strip/tape for security
-use electrical tape to fix the lens position, if it gets hit the tape will allow the lens to fold
-try to use under ample light/ good skies

OBV is addictive... fair warning!
