Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately I don't have a scale at the moment (or a watt meter), but here is my setup:   Motors: AC2830-358, 850Kv ESCs: 3D Robotics 20 amp Props: 10x4.5 SF Battery: Turnigy 2200mah 3s 40C   After ~3…

Hi Razor! , would you describe your motor/prop & ESC setup?  Total frame weight w/o battery & with battery ?  Its your battery new ?  To give you an example of my setup: Motors : Rc TImers 2830-14 750Kv ESC: Turnigy Plush 30A…

What's your weight w and w/o battery? Also what is your prop size and watt meter reading at half and full throttle? Jason

Optimizing battery life for 3DR quad setup?

I'm currently using the kit 3D robotics setup and I'm looking for more battery life. Completely stock I got around 5-6 minutes, and with a camera setup I'm closer to 3 minutes. This is all on 3s 2200mah 40c packs. At what point would increasing the battery capacity detract instead of help improve flight times? Maybe bumping up to 3000mah would be better? Also, am I correct in assuming that a bigger quad (bigger power system, or octo) will have a longer battery life? Thanks!See More

What mission planner version do you have? I have with 1.92 also issues of sometimes not showing my rc input.

Thanks for the help! I re-did the first time setup and noticed roll right and pitch back was a lower number, instead of a higher number like you said. I clicked the "reverse" button on them but it didn't change the number.   I…

Do not reverse your radio channels to fix issues. Your radio should output high PWM for roll right and pitch back. Check the roll right = about 4500 and pitch back = about 4500 in the CLI radio test. If you see reversed control, check that you have…

Radio channels reversed or fly it backwards?

I am just getting set up and ran into a minor roadblock in terms of which motors should be spinning. Here is a picture of how my quad is set up. X configuration:So, I should expect that when I push the pitch stick forward, the rear motors 2 and 4 should spin up. But the opposite happens - 1 and 3 spins up. The roll direction is also reversed…See More

I heard that if you have a bad connection for just a few or spit seconds thats what smokes them.  I might start soldering mine to my motors to prevent this.  Besides the HK connectors only really work once.
