Custom 7 Inch Extreme Long Range Build

This is my 7 inch, Long Range focused build.
The frame is designed by me, with arms inspired by the AOS 7 but with a different overall package, with the goal of easily carrying 8000 and 10000 mAh 6s2p Li-Ions, and 3000 to 4000 mAh Li-Pos.
The carbon was cut by the guys over at https://www.farinsframes.com/ in Italy.
Weight is 662g with everything except the GoPro and the battery, while all-up weight is 1630g, with a 8000mAh Li-Ion which weighs 880g by itself.
The motors are a bit undersized but that's what I had. They are the first thing I would like to upgrade.
With this setup I have reached the hard wired limit of the DJI Digital Sistem at 13,4km.
Flight time with the massive battery shown is over 45 minutes of cruising.

Hi there, wondering I'd you'd share the tune for this? Do you have a tune for BF4.5.1? Appreciate the help. 😊
