  • 10*4.5 props and 400kv high lift motors will likely give you a good increase in max flight time.

  • i have similar configuration

    can it be my problem soft propellers?

  • I've just ordered parts for something similar to this.  The main difference between your build and mine is the motor.  I'll be using the Turnigy L2215J-900 motor (900kv, as the name implies).  I'll be using the same size prop, with a 4.5'' pitch, and a larger 6Ah 3S LiPo.  Let us know what kind of flight time you get when you test it out.

  • Hi Adam,

    I'm about to build a similar quad configuration, with a Turnigy Talon v2 frame + an APM2. I currently have 4 XPower 2812/20 motors from a previous project but maybe I will change for other motors if these are not powerful enough. So I'm interrested in your project. Do you confirm that the hexTronik DT750 motors mount correctly on the talon v2 frame ? I was not sure concerning the diameter of the motor base.

    I currently didn't receive the APM2 yet (still backordered) and my Talon v2 is on the way from HK and I should receive it in a couple of days.

    I will be interrested about your PID settings too if you have to tune them :)

    Regards,

    Remi
