That makes sense. Thanks, Thalios!

I'm new to MRs... been a 3D heli guy for about 10 years. For what it's worth, I'm using a Zenmuse H3-2D gimbal and GoPro on my F450 (with 3S packs) and I'm using the DJI 1038 props. So far so good for me... but the F550 is already calling to me, haha!

Funny observation... just running the numbers on eCalc, it's saying that my flight times should increase for any given setup at higher and higher altitudes. Maybe it was just a matter of the temperature....

Yes, I live at about 5280 feet above sea level, but occasionally fly in the mountains near me. Taking off from there, my landing site is at already 8000+ feet ASL. Yes, that'd be pretty high if I was flying from sea level! ;)

Interesting. I was thinking that living near Denver (5280 feet ASL) a hex might be a benefit compared to a quad at this altitude, all things being equal. To clarify, I do understand that more rotors will always require more power, but that's not what I mean-- I'm speaking more as to whether the...

Hi all, I have a question I haven't been able to find much about on online. Today I flew my F450 at a much higher altitude than usual-- just over 8000' versus about the usual 5200' or so around my normal flying areas. I of course experienced reduced flight time, pretty substantial, actually...

Just wanted to say hi from Colorado. I'm new to the forum and multirotors, but have been flying RC helis for almost ten years. I got the multirotor bug and I'm hooked! My current quad is a DJI F450 with Naza V2 and a GoPro riding in a Zenmuse. I'm loving it and glad to have found this forum...
