arashi replied to Elijah Wood's discussion Increasing flight time"@Nano
I used the default PID's and it flew fine.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that your quad changes altitude a little and wobbles once when you yaw it.
Have you calibrated the throttle on all of the ESC's?When you…"

With a 2kg quad, 11ah 4s battery, NX 4006 530kv motors, and APC 14x4.7 props, I was getting a reliable 35 minutes of flight time in actual flying conditions.
The battery did cost $300 though. Since I was carrying a…"
