Typical amps drawn on a multirotor?

[Traveller]

Hey Moelich73,

I just want to give you a small warning...
Some other pilote's and I are having problem's with the NTM 1200kv's combind with 30Amp flashed ESC's (SimonK FW)
They don't seem to work well. with my testings the motor's tended to just stop for a couple of second's midflight and then startup agian. This lead to some nesty skydrop's for me.
It has something to do with the SimonK Fw/ESC timing and the NTM 1200kv not syncronizing propperly.

I don't know if your motor's will have the same problem, but again i justed to give you a heads up!

Regards

PS: I'm defenitly knot bashing the NTM 1200kv's!!!!! These motor's combind with "regulair" TGY 30Amp Plush ESC's on a 4s will make you an extremly happy pilote!

Thanks for the heads up! I hope that the NTM 28-26 1000kV motors won't do the same. I like the NTM motors and use one on my Deep Reaper wing. I'll buy them again anytime!

Which ESCs are you using? I'm going to use the HK F-30A.

my quad with rctimer 750kv motors and 10 x 4.5 props pulled 32amps combined through my watt meter at max throttle (on 3s).

It depends on a lot of things how much amps your muli-rotor will draw.
Size and pitch of the props, and you cannot just use any prop on every motor.
Type of motors and amount of motors, and of course the weight oft the whole thing.
There are calculators available to calculate your amps, and you can give in al your equipment here.

My hexakopter 1.5 kg with 13"x6 xoar props draws 14 amps from my 4s5000ma lipo.
But loaded with my canon D5 and gimbal it draws 38 to 40 amps.
Just to give you an idea.

I hear flashing with Mystery20A.hex (wii esc firmware) seems to fix the problem. I am going to give it a go.



I love google ..... I never need to learn anything again.

just have the quad out, stock motors and ESCs. 4s 5000mah
10" Graupner Props with a full load fpv, go-pro with pan and tilt.
70 amps at full forward and full climb.
49Kph full forward level flight
