    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I went over to eCalc and after spending alot of time finding the right variables as close as possible to the components on my hexacopter I got 7.8minutes of hover time on a 2700mah lipo which is really close to what I get when I actually fly my hexacopter at a hover. I think im going to...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    My batteries are being charged to 4.2 volts right before I use the helicopter and I let the charging cycle finish of course, also I try to store them as close to 3.8 volts as possible. Im just wondering on your flamewheel what are the flight times you get for say a 3000mah battery? Maybe DJ...

    Flourine lipo batteries I use are 35c discharge rate, I already checked out this website when I was considering my lipo batteries: http://www.rogershobbycenter.com/lipoguide, it has a lot of detailed information on lipo batteries, but I will go ahead and take a look at the thread you suggested...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    Flourine is the battery brand I use. Traxxas is just the connector on some of them which I got a Traxxas to Deans connector because my helicopter cable I put on is a Deans connector, the batteries only came with Traxxas connector at 5500mah.

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I've been looking at good quality motors and they seem kinda of expensive, I was wondering if anyone knew any fairly good quality motors for a good price? Also just how much increased flight time would I get? For example if I got 750kv motors how much better is that then 1000kv motors?

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I did some more research on props and I saw the people that got longer flight time with longer props and props with higher pitch also had more efficient motors, with a lower Kv rating and ones with more torque. If I got more efficient motors in the future and put on props with higher pitch and...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I was considering these props: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Airscrew-3-Blade-Pusher-Propeller/dp/B0000WS5R8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1452722351&sr=8-3&keywords=10x7+propeller I will try checking it's weight also, I removed it's landing gear and prop guards

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I have recently heard about propellers with 3blades instead of 2, since I do not have anothe space for longer propellers could this be a solution as it would be increasing the propeller surface area without increasing propeller length, along with getting propellers with higher pitch maybe since...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I have purchased a DJI F550 hexacopter kit, however its flight time is only about 4-5 minutes on a 3000mah Flourine 3cell lipo battery pack, I was wondering if there is anyway I can increase the flight time without increasing the batteries which I already purchased two more 5500mah Flourine lipo...
