Would this work for any quad-copter? I'm getting a p3 tomorrow and plan on getting dirty with it.
...

Yes it would Mark.
1 toolbox for those who have I1+P3
But i will call it the Inspire1 Toolbox

is it pushing or pulling the air, or both depending on the connection.

I would almost rather vacuum with a brush attachment.

Yes, its producing bidirectional airflow

Yes, that would be the second planned use of it.

But i need the opinion from member Genettico on d ...

I have tested now to up to 2.5amps no problems and still  a very slow safe discharge rate! Great idea... I can add it to "accessories" to the discharger built! Thanks for sharing Dundee!!

Would not a can of compressed air from the computer store be easier?

Depends how much for the can(s).
This device can also be used as a vacuum

dundee,
  Have you figured out the dis-charge scheme yet?  Just spent 1hr running a batt down from 11% to 3% by just letting the bird sit on idle with no props and not running.

Still working on that. But this air pump will be a means to discharge TB47/48.
Temporary, i do same you do.

Dundee,
     Have your ever run the batteries down with the motors running with no props?

Dundee,

You can deplete batteries every 15-20 flights by :
   1) By running the motors without props.
   2) By keeping the craft powered on (without props) until it shuts down
       by itself or until you can not start the craft again.

Topics to read :
   1) Genettico's Discharger
   2) Dundee's General Feedbacks

Thanks dundee! Guess I missed those Topics.
