Sorry guys, been away for a few weeks cycling 3,000 miles across America! Back now.... I'll take it apart and post some pics. I soldered directly to the +'ve and -'ve on the board. I'll have a look and see if I can find a switched power source to prevent me from accidentally draining the...

I know that you all told me that I was pushing the bird...... well.... I found the limit! It can't cope with twin 6600s and DJI battery. The motors reached their limit at about 7 minutes and I had to quickly land - fortunately I was only hover testing at 5m so I landed it ok into some long...

It's a fair opinion and I know that I'm pushing the bird hard (pushing the limits). However, my conditions are different to some others and shouldn't really be compared as like for like tests. Most of my tests were at 10-11 deg C at 161m mean height above sea level (ground level). When I...

I missed that thread before as well...... I may have to give up my family now that I have seen your project. I didn't realise that carbon fibre was within reach of my abilities. Dangerous :) Awesome work MVodhanel! Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

I have nearly 10 times now. It's a bit slow to accelerate and stop but it seems to cope well and the motors are only slightly warm on landing. Iv used duel 4000s & 4400s even more often (video of me landing on my tank in a previous post). I may try duel 6600s but I know that I'm getting close...

I should have much more accurate results soon. It appears that my initial predictions were too conservative- might be something to do with the way that the battery manager limits current (I didn't know this during my initial tests), this means that my flight predictions are short: DJI battery...

It all works! No more bulky Anker battery bank and a nice slim transmitter setup. Amps are powered directly from the transmitter through a switch that I fitted on the back. I tried to fit the amps inside the case but there just wasn't room. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Just to make sure that it is definitely more than 5 seconds! williamTan, are you in the UK? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

This is very similar behaviour to what a talked about in posts 1306 &1312. It appears that the battery manager chokes the output to the bird quite a bit. Are you talking about a bypass with a switch to send some of the current around the battery manager? Sent from my iPad using...

Did anything work? Is your battery working again? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Understood. It is about 20A Max output so it could easily fry the amp, but what you have said confirms my thoughts. Will try it tomorrow (with just 1 Amp at first). Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app

Excellent, thank you. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots mobile app
