@jesperjuul Batteries, Sanyo NCR18650GA the best batteries on the market besides NCR18650G which are on the Tesla Cars but they don’t sell those to public.

I’ve done lots of research on batteries and these are the one’s to get. the MJ1 are 99% as good
I’ve build the pack myself, I’m into DIY i’ve lots of links on info regarding this project.

4S3P Balanced 10350mah 600grams $80bucks, you can’t beat that with today’s tech:)

NCR18650GA Specs:
Capacity (Ah): 3.5 Ah ( 3500mAh)
Charging Voltage (V): 4.2 V
Nominal Voltage (V): 3.6V-3.7V
Weight (g): 46 g
Diameter (mm): 18.05 mm (+/- 0.03 mm)

Happy to share more if anyone is interested.

@dkdarkness My current servo is pretty beefy, half gram heavier than the 210DMH with over a kilo of torque at 4.8V, Weight: 16.5grams – 4.8V: 4.2kg/cm 0.15sec – 6.0V: 4.7kg/cm 0.13sec

Excited for my total flight time, should be 30Mins Flight and 60min+ of hover, according to eCalc how ever the weight has yet to be accounted for, but my setup is very similar to the 97min guinness world record but with better batteries:)

I’ll be testing the PID’s this weekend with adjustments being made on my Taranis TX.
Eventually i’ll attempt a flight wing/tricopter hybrid

@jesper Thank you for the suggestion, i’ll upgrade to the 22HV in the future, the current servo vibrates a lot when idle, i’m guessing the PID’s are causing that since i’vent played around with that yet.

The servo uses RC6 which i’m having to use RC5,6 for X4R-SB Telemetry RX/TX, and no LED_STRIP because of that, NAZE32 is really limiting me now to the amount of bell’s and whistles, not sure but adding a 2D servo gimbal seems not to be possible neither due to limitations

I’m also on the hunt for a lightweight shock absorbing landing gear as they keep braking zip ties due to my hard noob landings

Thanks.

Feel free to ridicule and criticize, it’ll only make it better:)

This is my first Drone besides a remote controlled truck.
The goal is to attain long flight time, hence the Motors, Prop, Battery combination
I have much more battery available for a future 5S4P possibly
Have yet to Weight it. ‘this weekend’
