Good day GJH . Have not heard much from you as of late. What is your largest build to date . Trying to figure out the size of KDE motors I want to stick in mine . Want good torque for payload but still have a bit of speed to git there . What do they mean when they say this motor is suited for a 6s or a8s build ?
All back together but have had no time to play. I've only flown my Helimax in the yard and that's it.
My largest in size is a 700mm, my largest in weight is about 3.5 pounds haha. I am looking into different motor layouts to try to get something new.
Just checking In . Have ordered a couple of parts for the frame build that I forgot when I ordered the frame . should be in this week and then I will put it together . Ive been reading up on the superX controller , read an article in a multirotor magazine . Sounds like a good candidate to do all the things I want . Not cheap tho . Hope your road trip has been going well for you . Be safe and keep the bugs out of your teeth .
Higher voltage would make it a much better endurace quadcopter.
Thanks for the list of flight controllers . They all seem to have a flaw from one order to the next. Would hate to sink 4 grand into a hexacopter just to watch it flip on its back. Have got it down to a few , naza v2 , super x , wookong . Can I ask what you use and what kind of luck you had .
I have been using just a KK, but I'd suggest you get the NAZA, as long as you make sure you have enough satellites before a flight it should be fine.
I have been thing naza might be the way to go . Thanks GJH
I think the Naza is an excellent choice as well. I have a NAZA M Lite and a SuperX mini. The SuperX is easier to set up and fly. At least for me. The Naza has performed very well but it has not been quite as easy to set up and fly. The RTH feature on the SuperX works better than the Naza, for example The difference in flying is small but enough that I prefer the SuperX. The Super X Pro has plug and play upgrades for all the normal stuff as well as things like sonar and a cool recognition system that reacts to your hand movements. You can set the transmitter on the ground and by lifting your hands up it will take off. It will move in any direction you move your hands. Not sure what you would use it for but it's kinda cool to see. Either way, you can't go wrong. Get the one that you feel drawn to.
Ok. Help us all out here. Please explain, because everything I have read cites facts and figures that contradicts that. Just looking at the motor manufacturers charts shows about a 20% or more drop in efficiency when using the same prop and going from 3s to 4s power. You gain more lifting ability and less flight time.
That is true, but I am talking about the motors being designed for higher voltage and drawing less amperage. This theoretically gives higher efficiency, but in practice you don't gain much efficiency.
