"I just received the panasonic ncr18650B (3400mah/ 3.6v) and A (3100mah/3.6) cells.
The a cells weigh ~45g giving 248wh/kg.
The b cells weigh ~46g giving 266wh/kg (about 7% more density).
As far as I know the B cells does not have the heat…"

http://www.dji-innovations.com/products/spreading-wings-s800/specif... specs seems pretty awsome.
I was quickly browsing over the source code for APM 2.6. I noticed that the main loop uses just some straight up timers to check for how often update routines are called and so forth. Are there any benefits to modifing this code to use interrupts or…
"Anyways; here are the motors / props I'm ordering. Skipping the T-motors due to a lot of bad reviews.
I've also seen some strange looking thrust benches. I'll try to build one which does not use a L to apply force to a scale, and place the motor…"

"Thanks for all the valuable input. Based upon my research and your input I will set up a test to stop guessing and ensure I can get the most trust per W. Stability and what not will be not measured yet.
This is my test set up so far;

"So, what if you created an octacopter where the you use 4 large props low kv engines and add 4 higher kv, smaller prop engines for stability?"
"I found some interesting motor / prop configurations;

13x4.5, 7.4v, 6.3a (47watts) with a thrust of 730g. This gives 15.66g/W. A configuration like this might give 30+ minute flight times."

I've been reading about Micro Drones claim of 1 hour flight and I have been pouring over some numbers trying to figure out if this is possible with LiPo batteries. My answer is simply no. I've look at different batteries and different motors.…
