"The FC only uses a few hundred mA. The question is whether the power module can safely and continuously handle the peak current that the aircraft requires.
IMHO the Mini 10S power module is good for about 30A or put another way, a 350-450 size…"

"The quoted ratings for most small electronics in this hobby are usually very exaggerated. The 14awg wire used for the 10S power module is normally considered suitable for up to 10 amps. The XT60 connector is considered appropriate for up to 60…"

"Any updates Peter?
I have an 1100 hex to maiden in the next few days -
8Kg (+3kg payload)
5008-330kv
18x5 props 3.3Kg max
50A ESCs
6S2P 20,000mAh Graphene
I am very interested in your PID setup, particularly the solution to the takeoff wobble…"

"Well then the only way is to try it. I'll report back."
"Has anyone figured out how to connect the RFdesigns 900+ modems to the Mini? The pinouts appear incompatible."

"eCalc is a great place to start. The thrust/power calcs are quite a bit off if I compare the computed values compared with real, measured values. eCalc is usually conservative, but it relies on manufacturer's marketing data, not real-life tested…"
