Four years ago, Chris Anderson posted a list of delayed Kickstarter campaigns. I was intrigued by this list and came back to it a few times over the years. 2014 and 2015 was the peak of the drone hype.Unsurprisingly, most crowdfunding campaigns were…
"Hi Maxence,
For 1 and 3 - We have done tests to evaluate the effect of the arm on the test results. There is no simple answer to the variability, unfortunately. Our protocol requires recording the test environment. I made a post about this…"

"@Wojciech Batog I understand your concern, and this is why we made the Series 1520: we started the company with hobbyists in minds. This is also partly why we made the database openly available: everyone can use it. The R&D costs for the tools are…"
I will discuss the challenges of designing this database. Searching for the right propulsion components for a UAV is tough. There is not much data available, and what is available from suppliers is not standardized or reliable. Even with the right…
"@Bjoern Kellermann 3.5 years, later, we deliver the database! https://database.rcbenchmark.com/ The GUI can now upload data automatically. The database is still in alpha, but it is useable. We will implement more visualization features and a better…"
"We are waiting to receive ours!"
"I'm getting one!"
"Thank you for this fascinating story!"
"Paper here.
That is a great idea to improve efficiency compared to four small rotors. The developer of the ESC founded IQ control."

"That sounds great! I would love to see machine learning posts. I am working with a local university to develop a tutorial on RL + Mocap with the PX4."
"Thanks for sharing. Great tutorial!"
"Thrust is proportional to air density. Air density is exponentially lower with altitude. This means that the propellers will spin faster at higher altitude. Consequently, the limit is probably how fast your propellers can spin. You need to find a…"
"Ok, this totally looks like product placement now, but I swear it was not planned. I was just contacted by Anik, one of the person working on the quadcopter in the video. He used the RCbenchmark Series 1580 (of which I am the designer) for the…"
"Great, don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions! Anyhow, I'd love to see a post on your optimization process when it is completed."
"Good job! Did you do any test on the motor and propeller to maximize flight time?"
