First of they are not "drones" they are SUASs or small unmanned aerial systems, But for the rest of your post the largest limitation is battery energy density. This could easily be fixed with a lithium carbon battery but they are not out of lab testing.

Well, I am glad that there is a fly responsibly link on the home page.

always keep track of battery voltage. I always land as soon as battery show 3.65 volts per cell. -Ben Skoning

I completely agree, I mean stay away from the ft bat-bone tilt.

Its really nice, Just stay away from their original tilt assembly I will break and snap if you look at it wrong. (I went through 3 in a month) -Ben

I really am looking forward to what you post, I currently have a ft Bat-Bone and am thinking about building one of Davids designs. -Ben

Mostly for me its just the usual "how high/far will it go". that and people talking with each other "wow a spy drone" -Ben

Kk2.1 and on have backlights. Really though what ever is in stock works. -Ben

Just remembered something you will need, some sort of power distribution cable or board. (The cable is for a tricopter, one for a quad word have 8 connectors not 6.) -Ben

I love the 9x, it's what is use now. -Ben

Was just checking you get a good radio.. 9xr is a plastic piece of junk. -Ben

Looks just fine.. for clarification are you using the turnigy 9x or 9xr. -Ben

I understand why you would think that however, nothing beats programming right off the board and at the flying field. Wobbels are not is issue either just a bit of tuning his required. -Ben

It should be listed on the website you are getting the motors from or the manufacturer that makes them. -Ben

Well... found my next project. -Ben

With 4s you will increase the rpm on the motor so you would need shorter props. Good guide here: http://youtu.be/HSQGI6u2DlM -Ben

The really simple way is to set a volt monitor of a balance port any just set it to 3.6 volts per cell. -Ben

Moon gel all over the place, sandwiched between motor and frame, and around the booms in to the center plates. Only things I can think of .. well.. maybe check the prop mounting hardware. -Ben

It's all about the prop pitch. Lower the kv increase the pitch, low kv/high pitch is most efficient. -Ben

Well... apm is an investment and not really worth it unless you are in to full autonomous flight. Also you could learn on a kk2 then go to more advanced things like naza cc3d apm and multi wii. That is the rout I took and am so far quite happy with it. -Ben
