Tiger-Motors U8 + 28x9,2 props

As I contributed a little to the Riegl-Copter I got a frame.

That's pretty cool. I'll be heading to the Riegl booth on the 23rd, so I'll definately check the new frame out. I'm thinking it's going to have a pretty lofty price tag though, on top of the VUX-1 price.

Guys,
Any detail picture or website on the frame you are talking about?

Not much info. I'll be at their booth, but I'm more than likely just buy the lidar : ) I'll ask about price.

Hi Ferdinand,

What ESC that you finally use?
Is it still on 8S or others?

Thanks.

Ferdinand,

I like to know as well! Pretty much giving up on U8's and from what I heard at the lidar convention in Denver the U10's are even worse. I have no idea how Riegl is getting 30 min with U8's? Not at 20+ kg. As for myself, I'll be switching to KDEXF-UAS75HV esc's with 8s packs and maybe KDE7208-135 motors.

 

[FerdinandK]

I am using hobbywing 70A HV.

best regards
Ferdinand

 

[Waladi]

Hi Ferdinand,
I assume you still use 8S batteries.
Do you ever test the hobbywing 70A HV with 12S batteries?

 

[FerdinandK]

Actually yes up to 25 kg I fly with 8S and up to xx kg I fly with 12 S.
The Escs work fine with 12S
Best regards
Ferdinand

Great!!
Many thanks for your confirmation.

Here my last build, no more U8, but still 28"

 

[Old Man]

Can we say "heavy lift"?. Nice Lidar candidate.

 

[RobertoMFS]

Great Ferdinand!
Anxious to know flight time...
What KDE model its?
Why do you change motor brand?
Thanks
Regards

 

[FerdinandK]

Thank you for your comments.
@Old Man
The copter is not specific for Lidar, but could be.

@RobertoMFS
The flighttimes for different payloads I will present when I can support them with videos, but there will be no surprise, just depends on the payload and the amount of battery (or whatever media that can provide energy )
The motors I ordered (and received) quite some time ago (more than a year, and at that point these were the only ones available regarding weight and KV. Motors are kde 7215XF-135

best regards
Ferdinand

 

[Old Man]

The greater question is; when did your wife say you had to give back the trash cans?

 

[RobertoMFS]

What it's more efficient the KDE or the T-Motor?
What ESC do you use?

Thanks
Regards
Rob.

@RobertoFMS
I am using Hobbywing 70AHV (als always). The U8 and the KDE I am using are completely different, one has 250gr the other 600gr. They have very different purposes, so not directly comparable. To me both look and feel well manufactured, but to compare similar motors should be compared.
