Hi, I'm new to RC and I'm in the process of building my DJI 550. I won't use the supplied props. I have a set of Graupner 1326.9x5.
I have a battery which I think will be too heavy. It is a Pulse 4S 35C 6600 mAh. (this battery was given to me and it's brand new)
( battery= 737 grams)
I plan to attach a GoPro Hero to the ship (underneath.) I'll be adding some lightweight legs for landing gear to keep the ship above the GoPro.
My concern with the battery mentioned above is that it is so heavy I'll be adding more vibration and stress on the ship since I'll need more throttle to fly. I also don't know exactly how weight will affect handling.
I understand this Pulse 4S 35C 6600 mAh will give me longer flight times... but I think I need a lighter battery. What are your thoughts?
What is a good balance of weight to flight time.. type battery?
BTW I plan to aquire a second and third battery anyway...
Thanks in advance for your input.
Jim.
