Hi ...
Just joined this forum and notice a lot of good information being shared. First a bit about what I am presently flying -
FlameWheel F550 - E300 ESC's and 2212/920KV motors
CFR 9450 rotors
NAZA-M V2 INS
iOSD Mini OSD
Zenmuse Gimbal & Controller
BosCam TS-352 AV Tx
GoPro Hero 3+ Silver
Add-on Camera Rail Extension Kit
Add-on Rotor guards ( Found these from a company in Fla. )
and lastly, a Storm 3C 5500 mAh battery ( 11.1v )
All of the above results in a Take-off weight of ~1945 grams - The F550 has a "Max" of 2400 grams.
As set up, I'm getting consistent flight time of around 10 minutes. Nothing spectacular, just shooting
videos of the scenery.
Which brings me to the reason for this post ...
I would like to change up to a 4C 8000 mAh Lipo ( 14.8 volts ) I plan to retain all of the above gear and
have checked, and all claim to handle the increased voltage. I will pick up about 258 grams of additional
weight from the new battery, but also will have increased my mAh by 2500. I'm confident this will increase
the flight times.
I'm aware that I will have to, using the Assistant Software, change settings for Battery Type and the Voltage
alarm levels ( 1 & 2 ). What i am wondering is, can I use the existing Pitch, Roll, Yaw, Vertical and Attitude
gain settings I presently have with the 3C battery or can someone, perhaps with a similar setup ( 550/4C )
suggest some other settings.
Will appreciate any help you might wish to provide ... |
