TBS DISCOVERY - New quadrocopter frame

[hagay]

Mine with the DJI motors, full NAZA, FPV staff and lipo weighs is about 1.4kg

[rcschim]

same for me. with DJI motors, Gopro tbs69, vtx and everything I get around 1465gr when using 3600mah 3cell battery (which is 314gr)
this config also means my DJI motors get quite hot.
I already checked, that 2 of them are running with more resistance - they turn harder - so that might be the reason for the motors to run so hot.
atm I wait for trappy to ship me the rctimers - I'm curious how they will perform with an 3600mah 4cell.
I can't wait to do seriuos FPV flights - but with hot motors and breakable DJI props (as they tell me) I dont wanna risk anything.

3cell vs 4cell with same mah: do I get more flighttime with the 4cell?

if you prop down correctly you should get more flight time

This thread is started to moving fast, 61 posts yesterday. Trappy what's the news about your GoPro jello fix? I need to say that I try everything and fail.

@trappy, just ordered a core for my discovery, how do i connect up to get an RSSI reading from my EzUHF transmitter?

I'm assuming it's a signal and ground connection cable from the bottom plate (RSSI tabs) to the receiver tracks on the top plate (ch8) and then a signal and ground cable from the top side connections to the RSSI port on the EzUHF (the (pico blade) one under the antenna connections)… ?

[Trappy]

use immersionRC tools to ouput e.g. to channel 8 the "RSSI Link Quality". Then connect signal and GND of ch8 through top plate into the RSSI port at the bottom of the board. you do not need the picoblade connector. after you must calibrate the RSSI info on the CORE according to our manual:

Thanks for the swift reply…

Has anyone been flying the discovery with the Tiger MT-2216-11-900KV motors? If so what was your prop size and brand of choice on 3S or 4S? I'm current running the APC 10"x4.7 and I'm a bit low on the throttle stick (at about 35% hovering). Seem like the props could go down in size to 9". I've also got plenty of punch on 3s 4000mah. I tried 4S 3300mah but that was a bit much for my style.

Trappy didn't you say you had these motors at one time?

looks like I'll have to upgrade to 4S LiPo if I want to use my 9" graupner props, calc says hover at 70% throttle, eeek

What's everyone running on gains with the naza FC with full fpv gear? Just looking for a close starting point thanks
