Lifting capacity?

Posted by Peter-Hans de Zwarte on October 12, 2011 at 10:27am

I tried to search, but are there any lifting capacity graphs (flight time and battery calculated in) for the 3DR frame withthe 880Kv motors?

If not, what is the lifting capacity with the 880Kv motors and a pretty much standard 3DR frame (I know a standard quaddoesn't exist, but you get the point).

Hope anybody knows, thanks.

highly experimental numbers. In fact, they are probably wrong, and the "max" is sure to be more wrong than the others.

Have you considered sticking with 850Kv/10x45 instead?

EDIT: the labels for the battery is swapped, these are all 1x4400mAh calculations. Only the label was swapped.

Completely unreasonable figures hovering@75% throttle
