I see you changed your motor and prop configuration from 1404 4x2.4 to 1407 4.1x4.1, was the previous motor didn't had enough thrust or did you just changed it for some other reason. I also want to build a 250gm plane but I am confused about what motor (under 15g) and propeller I should use . I'll be using 2s 18650 3000mah 7c li-ion battery. please tell me what should I do.
Have you tried a 18650 or 21700 2s pack with this setup? i wonder if that would be too heavy for the incredibly long flight range you made here. But it would give you alot more capacity comparing to those flat cells you have. But it looks like you have that plane locked in with the perfect weight ratio so maybe my idea will just loose you range.
I looked into 21700's, but there's no way to keep it under 250g AUW. 18650's work of course, but the highest capacity available is 3500mAh with a continuous current of 10A. The problem with 18650 2S is if you take the cells right down to 2.5V each you're at 5V, which is technically below the minimum voltage rating for the FC. So for 2S at least, I've found that these high capacity, high volt lipo's are a better choice, because they aren't much heavier and you get more voltage over the whole discharge range. This means you can fly at a slightly higher average speed and when the pack is empty you're still at 6.6V.

Awesome flight! And interesting that you get that range on just 500mw - congrats! 💪👍🏽
Nice! Amazing range. I really with the on board vtx dvr keep recording after video link loss.
Amazing flight, thanks for posting specs.

I need to build one of these. Have an extra Walksnail mini V3 kit and ELRS rx that need a new home.
On a LiPo! Damn, you know how to optimize your builds!
Is that field right out the gate from your backyard? That is an awesome spot!!!
Yes. LOL

Nice PR! What setup on the ground side?

Legend, thank you! @@ampedfpv
Dji battery?
They are labelled as DJI replacement cells from Ali Express.
Did you get your antennas directly from prodrone?
@@QEDFPV yes
