How to Increase Flight Time in an RC Helicopter???

[tattustore]

When it comes to flight time, this is a question for most users! Today, Tattu will teach you how to increase flight time!

Flying your helicopter is by far the best part about owning it; however, sometimes the joy of flying is short lived and you find yourself waiting around by the charger instead of watching your piloting skills at work. Learning how to increase your aircraft's flight time will enable you to experience more flight time per charge, which can result in more time to practice your newest aerial stunts.

Many people thought to increase flight time with a bigger-capacity battery, but this will also add weight. More weight will lower the flight speed, and will reduce handling somewhat.

The best way to increase flight time is changing you TATU professional UAV batteries. Have the charged batteries in hand and removing the used battery and replacing it with a charged one. In that way you should have several sessions of flight in one go with only a short break between them. You would have to fit a connector (JST mini would be good) in order to do this, but you will have to do that for the battery you posted a link on. This is kinder on the heli than bigger batteries and also give the motors time to cool a little while you change batteries.

You should really consider having an actual English-speaking person write these messages for you. It reflects poorly on your brand to have this kind of message posted under your company name.

We met the people from Tattu in Toledo, very nice people, but yea, a little english help would be a benefit!

I don't mind broken english if I can understand it (my graduate econometrics instructor pronounced "R" and "L" exactly the same, which was lots of fun if the model included lagged variables (L1, L2, etc.) and interest rates (R)).

Anyway... Is the message here just to buy more batteries? I think it is, except I don't get the point of "You would have to fit a connector (JST mini would be good) in order to do this".

You are absolutly right. a connector is also a major factor to increase flight time.

May be you are right
Thank you for your advice, i will spare no effort to improve my English
And also can you help me or give me some advice,
Thank you

SO, are you suggesting to add a JST connector so one could hook that up with the new battery and then unplug the MAIN connection to keep the flight control "on" when changing batteries to keep the ability to get back in the air more quickly?

sometimes we should try the two methods,maybe we should try to change the better, maybe change the controller.

Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but frame and landing gear is that on the pic?

 

[econfly]

Hijack welcomed. Looks like a stock DJI S900 to me.

 

[Jussi]

Thanks. Is there a less expensive alternative for the frame? One with the self retracting landing gear

 

[econfly]

The S900 comes with retracts. Everything but the flight controller goes for about $1,400 (frame with battery tray and rails, retracts, motors, props, ESCs). It's good price for what you get. I think there is a clone out there for under $1,000. Check out rctimer -- they tend to copy DJI stuff a lot. I have no idea about the quality of what they make, however.
