GH3/4,Zenmuse and 16,000 - 20,000 may of batt. Rig comes in right at 19 - 20 lbs... "Maldito Bastardo"

I saw this on another thread I think the user was "Sk8brd" or something like that but he nailed it.. again all based off 50% thrust:

Secraft monitor/radio holder rules.

From what I have see in real life work (ie. system not get overloaded, ESC's and Motors stay coolish) and what almost everyone I know does is to set your rig's target weight at the 50% thrust capacity. Thrust in numbers is cool, thrust in the real world is a different story. Factor in wind...

Motors. If you look up the motors used most have a voltage/prop chart that will give you the lift capacity at 50% - 100%. Take the number of motors x the lift capacity at 50% throttle and that will give you the target lift capacity. I have a QUAD that uses T-Motor U7 490KV motors and 18/6.1"...

What's weird with the Xoar wood props they can change with humidity. You can balance the crap out of them and if it gets hot or humid they will slightly warp and cause issues.

Funny part is, it's a lot of work. I have my personal rigs that I use for my commercial business and then I have my RCG work rigs that are used for testing. And to be honest, as much as I love all of this, keeping my commercial rigs flying properly is time consuming, but them constantly...

I use props from mongo RC. not sure the brand. But I just got a pile of fox tech supreme light props and they are insane. awesome quality. Great shape.

I'm running the T-Mortor 330KV motors with T-motor NON simonK 40 amp ESC's. I don't know max time as I never tried but with (2) 6000 6S packs I can get 8 - 10 min and still have 1500- 2000+ left in the tank. With (2) 10,000's I can do 12 - 13min with out too much hassle. The recommendations for...

KDE's rock. I have them (380KV) on my other big quad swinging 18" props. On this guy it's a Zenmuse GH3 with the OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f2.0. I have the T-Motor U7's with the T-Motor 80 amp sec's on here. They run hot, but I am told this is normal, and that the ESC's have a heat sink...

What motors, ESC's and what is the AUW with the M5?

I hear ya, I'm a BIG quad guy. I love em. My newest has a lift capacity of 20 - 28 lbs can fly for 14 min, is only 800mm and swings 18" props... I love it! And I hear the "redundancy" argument all the time.. but meanwhile I've had 300= flights on my other commercial big quad with no issues...

I had the 1/3/5 motors get hot on a hex in the past. It was on a Hoverfly Pro board, but I was overloading the system. The rig was hovering around 70 - 75% and for some reason the 1/3/5 motors were taking the extra load.

I think size plays a huge roll. when you make a rig bigger the motion of the motors is exemplified. So if you are spinning large props at slower RPMs the flight control is probably driving itself insane. With higher RPM motors the flight control sends corrections of maybe 100 - 300 RPM and it...

Yea, who told you that? Did you get a name? I have flown the crap out of a hex with the superX on it. Before I mounted my gimbal I was aggressively flying my HC 800 and it was awesome. I would say that most likely you have a different issue. Motore bad? ESC? something overheating during...

I think you would be fine with 2 wires powering 2 ESC's as long as the wires gauge can handle the amps.

You could set your fail safe to “slowly land” and just turn off your radio.

YES.. exactly. The props are amazing. SO SMOOTH. No balancing needed just sort through the props and find the props that weigh basically the same and group them. Most of mine were spot on. So the 3 blade 15" is equillivant to a 16.5" 2 blade. Nice thrust and SMOOOOOTH!
