If im not mistaken, I believe those are 700kv motors, arent they? I dont have the Q right now with me, you can check any of your motors to see what they say. Kv means rpm/volt. So, 700rpm times 11. 1v = 7770rpm.
Thanks again. Waiting for the wind to die down tonight and see if I can make that video test flight. BTW, what part of the world are you in? Im on the East Coast of the US.
A side note to the rpm question is that a lot other factors are involved in the calculation of the rpm of a brushless motor. The best way to test it is with a Rpm Meter. That actually counts how many turns per minute. The long formula is used when you want to know what engine you should buy.
Here are my results from a 10 min flight just awhile ago. I went out about the same distance, 1050, and same altitude, 100ft.
i never lost the video but for awhile I lost the telemetry data. Also the video on the screen was a little choppy at times but I still had it.
The only surprise was that when the bird was about 3/4 back toward home the telemetry went away but only for a couple of seconds. I believe the reset helped. Thanks again. Next time I will go to 150ft and see if things improve.
Amelia Earhart park in Hialeah, In the neigborhood, in the beach, etc. There is not many people flying quadcopters down here. There is a club in Broward county in a park called Vista View and lots of people gather together, but I think they are requiring for people to have membership. Last time i went there was about 2 years ago.
My experience was that the drone lost connection at about 300 feet away. I put it on RTH but it still hovered so I walked closer and eventually it headed toward me. Not thinking to turn off the RTH, it kept coming....got about 6 feet away and abruptly changed direction to avoid me, almost crashing into my camper. Last second recovery I switched it off RTH when it was less than 2 feet away from the camper.
