"Actually, a full charge on 4S at 4.1V per cell is 16.4V, total. Based on your log, Voltage looks about right. As for voltage drop on take-off, you will have a definite drop once the motors spin-up under load. (My hex running 3805 motors weighing…"
"Did you see this video?

"Interlock" might be just the feature you are looking for... unless it too disarms the multirotor like emergency stop."

"Love the Rocket Days! My wife was really into building and flying rockets.
This is my beast that will climb at 30'/s or 1800'/m. Imagine the altitude possibilities with a 35 - 40min flight time. And that's enough time to go up and come down…"

"When the Model Rocketry clubs come to the Dry Lake Beds here in Nevada, they get special permission from the FAA to do record height flights with their high power rockets. That would be a perfect time to hook-up with such a club and go for a…"
"I've been running DJI's E600 propulsion system on my Pixhawk hex with pretty good luck until recently (flight crash due to wrong PIDs using a heavier 6S battery than what I usually run on 4S).
DJI's E600 system uses 20A Opto ESCs, 415kV motors, and…"

"What's your all-up-weight before battery?
How does it behave with the Naza M with the 1000 class diameter and low kV motors. That thing is a beast! It looks nice!"

"The 6S batteries have a lot more energy content than 4S batteries. Think of it this way, 4S is nominally 15.2V average, and 6S is nominally 22.8V, over a flight run. Let's suppose you use the same mAh rating for two different batteries, chose…"
"Before I bought another DYS, I would like to see actual footage from the Gimbal..."
"Yep, I run the same SD Card in my GoPro Hero 4 Black. Seems to do just fine.
Raw video off of the P3 looks really good in my opinion, even at 4K.
As said just about everywhere else, prop balance and proper dampers seem to be the key. My DYS has…"

"It's possible that when using the front mounted GoPro on the Iris that the balance (CG) was off, contributing to flight instability. I find that both my Hex (using Pixhawk) and my quad (using Naza V2) fly much better when I use the battery to…"

"I would really like to see some video results from the XProHeli SteadyGo 3-axis gimbal (I've searched YouTube and have found none).
I've watched a lot of videos from guys on the RCGroups forum using the Feiyu Tech G4, DYS, and Align G2 3-Axis…"

"So I have a couple questions about your Vortex 700 setup:
1) Are you using the Pixhawk F/C in lieu of the 3GX or Gpro F/C that came with the TREX 700?
2) Did you ever fly the Vortex 700 before using the Pixhawk?
3) Was tuning the Pixhawk with the…"

"Don't forget, heat sink also. I'm sure you could still come in under 4LBS.
Watch you amp draw. Usually Voltage Drop will become your enemy at rated ampacity over large distances."

"This should be interesting.
I use Dashware with Flytrex, and I have never tried overlaying my LOG / Bin files from my Pixhawk. I experimented a little with opening the file in Excel and parsing out the data I wanted from the GPS data lines.…"

Thanks a million. I had a decent flight today with settings I experimented with from "bench-top" testing. I think one problem I am noticing is that some movement (like end-point jerky-ness) in my video is due to the super flexible grey…"
