Hi,
I think it would be a very useful addition to add "until battery voltage = xxx V" to the loiter parameters in flight planning. That would - naturally - require a voltage sensor but it would be quite useful for autonomous flights. Especially, if th

I've been testing the effect of different cruise airspeed settings on power consumption, but in the range that I've been testing (8m/s, 9m/s and 10m/s) it has almost no effect on actual airspeed (or power consumption).
I've been flying a lap a

I want to buy an ESC with 25-30A and 6s(or at least 5s) rating that has a fast update rate (i.e. 400Hz) and works well with APM (i.e. no sync or start up problems).
Is it worth to buy the optical isolated type ?
