Nice! l Love these custom li-ion batteries! I made a 4s 4200mah pack for my 5" race quad, and get 22-24 minutes consistently flying pretty normal (dji 2305 2400kv motor with snail 5048 props.) I don't go crazy hard, but wasn't easy on the battery either. My worst flight was about 18 minutes when I was trying to push it. You certainly felt the extra weight and were down to about 2/3 power, but the flight time was so nice! I also made a 4s 10,000mah battery for the drone, which was a brick, but I got 34 minutes without any modifications.
I'm using the same homemade packs on my flywoo explorer and they are working great! It's really nice to not be using lipo batteries that swell up no matter how well you treat them.
Another 4" build but with heavier frame and more powerful motors . With molicel p42 21700 . Get good 20mins too and still a decent 140ish km/h top speed . It's the sweet spot .
crocodile baby with 1404 2900kv motors with 4x2.5 2blade props i get 20min with a 1300mah 3s lipo no acro. its slow and light perfect for my long range things. i have a 3s liion and 4s too but never tested them down to 3V. i would try to find the lipo sweetspot, its more fun with less weight, and more mah is always an option
Hey the baby ape sacrificed it's analog camera for the long range build so I am buying a new one. It's a bit of a Frankenstein right now testing out a cheap vtx.
