I have a F550 style hexacopter.
I'm running the Outrunner 1000KV motors (http://www.ebay.com/itm/301123699421), with a 3DRobotics APM 2.6 and GPS and telemetry, the blades are 10x5, with a 3-Axis gimbal and GoPro (http://www.ebay.com/itm/261420903129) and a lightweight skid.
I'm currently going to try the Glacier 30C 3300mAh batteries in parallel (2x) and also have some Turnigy NanoTech 25-50C 5000mAh batteries (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11935).
Do you think it's better to do the 2 Glacier's which weighs 540g or the 1 Turnigy which is 403g? Or even 2 Turnigy 806g.
I have no idea how much the entire hex weighs. I'd have to add everything up.
Frame : 478g
Motors: 288g
ESC's: 222g
APM + GPS: 45g
Skid: 145g
Gimbal: 262g
GoPro: 74g
-------------------
total with no batteries: 1514g
So either 2 glaciers total = 2054g
Or Turnigy x1 = 1917g
Or Turnigy x2 = 2320g
Is this too heavy for these batteries?
Thanks,
Brad
