"This might help you initially: http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm?ecalc On my frames, weight is usually the killer.  Add the motors and battery, and you will be lucky to get 8 minutes without draining the battery more than 80%."

H frame quad - full aluminium

Hi,I just finished building this H frame quad, entirely in aluminium, and I'm now trying to find the best compromise as for battery/ESC/motor to make the beast flyable.I do not have any clue at the moment on how to choose these properly, nor really sure that it will end up being flyable, due to the frame weight (900g)Would anyone be able to…See More

Andrew Radford replied to Manu's discussion Turnigy micro quad tuning
"I have the micro hex - and found it is a real difficult one to tune. Rate_P has to be < 0.100 and Rate_D about 0.005 IIRC. Try following the tuning guide, and if you can install SimonK firmware on the ESCs, or BLHeli if they aren't…"
