Params are rubbish at the moment for anything but stabilise mode. I will be tuning it when I get it up to weight (going to be hopefully flying it at the 6kg mark).
Currently 3 launches and circuits for half an hour leaves me on 87% battery.
How long flight time do you get out of it?
And do your x8 param file, is it perfect?
If it's of any help I'm currently running a 7s 4Ah Hyperion G3 25c LiPo, Hyperion Titan 85A ESC, Hyperion ZS4020-12 motor.
Massive overkill but very silent, huge endurance flights.
I have just purchased my x8 from hobby king.
Hobby king suggested I buy
