There was a blog post a while ago of someone who made his wiring very clean by wrapping it together, so I decided to do the something cause I was very tired of all these random wiring sticking out everywhere. I also decided to move the battery to the bottom of the quad so that the quad is not so out of balance with the battery at the back.

  • somehow i still fail to take a stabilized lift...

  • Yes I know that the weight is the key but after a while I couldn't reduce its weight anymore so recently I bought a DJI F450 frame which is lighter and more rigid. 

  • try to make it more lightweight to get more flighttime..this is the key

  • That sounds like my setup, 7-8 is what I get as well, you need to put a bigger battery to get more time. You can go for a 4s 5000mah which will reduce your 67% and bring your flight time up.

  • Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me your quad's flight time and weight. I have the same frame and for a weight of 1600 gr (3s 4000 mAh, sunnysky 2212 980, 10x4.5) I get 7-8 minutes before the first beep and it hovers at 67%. I believe I have to reduce its weight so that's what I am doing know.

  • No you do not get longer flight times, you need to measure your motors amp/h usage and make the propellers smaller or bigger to get the max flight time.

  • So by using 4s instead of 3s, do you guys get longer flight times except from more power?

  • @aaron fly 12-15min on a 4S 4000 25C zippy compact or 18-20 on a 5000

  • @christiaan in using 2212 1000KV with 10X5 in front and sunnysky 980KV with 10X4.5 at the back

  • Have any of you tried putting smaller props at the back as what the front once are or vise versa? I wonder what the difference will be.
