Techpod 6 cell 10,000 mah test flight

Went and flew at 60 acres today. only had time for a 20 minute test flight. the camera was out of focus and it was getting dark. This was flown with a foxtech 370 kv motor , two 5000 mah 6s lipos, APC 12x8, castle ICE 50 ESC, minum OSD and APM2.5 (data logging only for now)

This is from the logger on the ESC. and full log from ESC from the looks of it I am good for well over 3 hours flight time.

techpods in stock and shipping now. hobbyuav.com

Thanks

Thanks for all the info.the A2200 looks very "in budget" although the GPS is nice on the s100.
Would love to hear more about the A490 NIR.
Also, how are you guys triggering the camera?

My experience with " budget " camera such as Canon A 810. Even it is rated 16 MP. The result is far compare to the S 100. It will be great to serve as " Training " camera. After all, put an expensive camera on board and found it flown away may not fun.......

The benefits to the Canon S 100 is the fact that GPS will synchronize the clock.

Has anyone used the SX460HS?  I've been looking at that one, and I wonder why you'd prefer the S100/110 over that one.

Back on topic, getting antsy waiting on my Techpod!

Do you know of a way to sync it to a subsecond resolution? That seems worthwhile to me. Expensive, yes, but valuable.

Hey Wayne, finally had the chance to unbox this beast and start giving it some thought.

You still think this is the best setup?   foxtech 370 kv motor , two 5000 mah 6s lipos, APC 12x8, castle ICE 50 ESC

I was going to go with 6 x HS-65MG servos....would those be OK for the elevator as well?

Thanks!

JC

Ordered some parts.  On 6s, what prop would you recommend on the G10 810kv?

Thanks!
