Hexa Flight Time

[Pete80]

I really think the firmware update had alot to do with it, it made the motors run much smoother... I also should add, I was using apc 10x4.7 props... 20 minutes is probably a little conservative too...

Thanks for the tip about the firmware, do you know if I can do this with the Turnigy Plush 30amp ESC? I have never heard of this mod. What advantage do I get?

This is where I got all my info from, its basically a firmware that is specific for multirotors. The main reason I got it was because on my hobbywing controllers I needed to boot up my naza first or they wouldn't all work. So it became a bit of a pain, and this upgrade worked! I did notice everything ran smoother after, didn't really get any specific flight time data but I am pretty sure it improved. Its takes a bit of time, you need yo buy an AVR programmer... and you need to be OK with a soldering iron.

Just make sure you follow the instructions so you don't fry anything...

Pete thanks for the info, I will try to flash the firmware and see how it improve. I'm sure it will work better with a firmware designed for multirotors.

Thanks again for your time.

Mines got Hobbywing 25A Escs with Thumper 1120kv motors,graupner 10-5 props,with FPV stuff and a 5300 3S batt,weighs in at 1923g.
timer set at 10mins and land by 11mins flying smooth FPV.
Hard non FPV flying gives me about 6-7mins,everything comes down luke warm.

I was just noticed on this chart that some turnigy plush controllers might have a different processor... you might want to take one apart and check before you get too far into it. Make sure it has an atmel processor or it won't work.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm running 3s 6000 Genesis lipos. I normally just fly with one battery.
