I'm in the process of establishing a long-range build tailored for extended flights in alpine regions.
The motors seen in this build are not suitable - it wasn´t posible to tune the quadcopter well. I replaced them with T-Motor 2203.5 which was the better choice in the end.
For prolonged flights, I've opted for 4s Li-Ion INR21700-40T 4000mAh - 35A, providing both endurance and capacity. Additionally, I plan to use 6s Li-Po for extra boost.
The build is nearly complete. I've substituted the original 3D prints with red TPU ones and incorporated landing skids. Some minor adjustments, such as organizing the motor cables and setting up the longer Triumph Pro Antenna, are still pending.
Looks like those are powerful motors for a light weight build. Any more pics? :)
Hey! Yes, I want long flight time - therefore light weight. With the frame I am locked to motors with 12mm12mm mounting pattern. I have now changed to 2205 with 2300kv. The initial motors i picked (2305.5 / 1950kv) had 16mm16mm pattern, therefore impossible to be mounted.
Hey Nice build, on what values did you set the PID? i am using T-Motor 2306 1950KV my motors are getting hot
Thanks - after unsuccessfully trying to tune the quad, as the motors were not a fit to the whole set up, I changed to T-Motor 1500KV, 2203.5. And even then, I had difficulties finding/setting a good tune. I imagine your motors to have too hight KV as well - that would be my explanation.
