    Lipo 1 big or 2 small

    Well that sounds pretty good. 10.5ah is nearly there. Maybe try 3.6V. New lipo brands take a while to get an understanding of. Each setup is different so just keep flying and monitoring those batts and you'll work out the sweet spot. I do recommend a dual lipo setup! Why have everything...

    Lipo 1 big or 2 small

    Going back to your original post. I think your cutoff (3.7V) is too high. You will always get voltage drop under load, with a single lipo the drop will be more. The 20% rule applies to the amount of mah you put back in. The best way to determine that you are using your lipos to the fullest is...

    Lipo 1 big or 2 small

    It's the difference between sharing the load between two lipos or just one. I would always recommend using a dual lipo setup. Each lipo is then being used at a fraction of it's peak discharge which should increase it's lifespan.

    S1000 crash - exponential drift

    That certainly sounds like the problem! 30° is a massive error. It should be 0°.

    S1000 crash - exponential drift

    Hang on, you mentioned the IMU and changing position. The flight characteristics you're experiencing sound like the IMU position is not set correctly or the orientation is the wrong way round. Did you set any values for the IMU/GPS position before flying? Can we see a screenshot of various...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    Hey Matt, I agree, wouldn't use it for TV. A lot of UK production companies use Avid to edit with, and the Inspire codec doesn't sit well with it (so I've heard). You can turn the sharpening down. I'm just experimenting with finding the sweet spot.

    Hi all, Well, I got one of those Inspires a week ago and have to say it is pretty great to fly. Here's a test video from the flying field:

    Interesting new camera drone....

    That is pretty interesting! I imagine the quality of the footage won't be amazing but the portability of it is fantastic.

    Motors start, and then stop

    Hi mate, Twitching is a sign that an ESC is about to go. If you test on the bench it will probably start oddly compared to the others. Motors stopping after one second is normal. Mine do that if i have throttle hold on. Can you not get the full range of movement during the calibration in the...

    Ronin Battery Question

    I believe the two smaller contacts are similar to balance leads on normal lipos.

    Drone you mother droner! Drones and UAV flying around commercially by professionals with an octocopter. I guess all the spam deleting we have to do has rubbed off....:rolleyes:

    Commercial UAV Insurance

    Hi Rhiannon, I use Coverdrone (John Heath). Great coverage. Ravenhall are around the half the price.

    Drone Drones

    Well, I for one love being called a drone pilot. I fly drones and I get to say I'm a pilot! :cool: I think the name drone is fine. Let's just go with it, I'm sure it'll go out of fashion in the future ;) drone, drones, uav & uavs
