While searching for the Ideal motors I figured out few things which will give smooth flight and long battery life

1. Should be low Kv

2. Should have enough torque. May be the motors with more outer dia are better

3. Should have very low weight

4. Should be using very low current while on low load. but spinning bigger props

5. CNC light weight casings

6. Should be using Neodmium high temp magnets

7. High quality lamination 0.2mm stator sheet for high temp operation

8.High quality motor shaft.

Or anything else

Just further pushing what DJI wookong M can do

What I did is removed one motor from standard Jdrones motor with Gaui 500X GM412 and used 11 X 5 Graupner prop. Rest of the threee motors are standard jdrones motors with 10" props.

The only difference was controls became more sensititve. Maybe a PID setting would have helped more. This video was made when the DJI was in Manual mode

I tried following today on 2.0.49 firmware with APM Planner 1.0.86. As you can see from the video, there was obvious lag in the command around 1/2 seconds. The other thing the quad was doing it was not coming to stabilize position when I centered the joystick. This is because of the uneven cushion I placed above table. The settings are

Joystick: Saitek Cyborg

Telemetry: 900Mhz xbees @ 57600bps link speed

frame gaui 500X

Joystick is pretty slow to respond. When I checked in windows game controller I found out that in game controller calibration looking at the raw data the joystick response is slow. So its a windows + PC issue

Almost all of us know about the famous wookong-M

Something new I had a chance to see yesterday on their mini site

　 As a Ground Control Station (GCS), WKM View enables DJI autopilot system WKM the ability to monitor real-time flight state. It is an advanced feature of WKM.

WKM View will display 3D map, monitor attitude, coordinate, speed and angle of aircraft, monitor signal quality of wireless data link module and power voltage for you. It is specially designed for high-end WKM users.

　Click Go Mode is an upgrade package of WKM View, which gives you an extra tool for flight operation.

This tool allows pilot to drag single flight route on 3D map, assign altitude and flight speed to a single destination. Altitude, speed and destination point can be changed on-the-fly with flight path tracking.

Click Go Mode strengthen the WKM View, which brings you more exciting flight experience.
