This gave me idea how to repurpose another my old frame.

You'll need throttle limiting if you're running 4S motors on a 6S battery. I have already burned out motors 😳🙄

Luckily this is now sorted out in Betaflight by "motor_output_limit" and "auto_profile_cell_count". It make possible to put 6S RPM's on 4S motors in safe limit. Plus have separate PID/rate profiles for 4S and 6S batteries if needed. In nutshell sorted out here:

I still have a little heap of RS2203S 2300KV and RS2203 2600KV motors which no one needs. Why not end them with style :) Former coworker made a leaf blower from two of these, old 20A OPTO ESCs and DAL 5045BN props (these also are a thing of the former glory).

A very interesting, even strange invention that few people know about, the inventor is very creative. Have you received a patent yet?

Now what does that have to do with my Build?
