I tested the Master Airscrew props and now use them all of the time. They are quieter and give me longer flight times too. I have not had any problems with them whatsoever. See for yourself my test here:

I'm a member of a Facebook group in the UK called "Drone SAR for lost dogs UK". We are totally voluntary and do not accept any payment. There are currently 663 pilots in the group. We as also help other groups in other countries when requested. I would personally be interested in joining you...

I already DO volunteer with the Facebook group "Drone SAR for lost dogs UK". We help search for people too and do ground searches when we can't fly. However, in the UK we are seriously hampered by the ridiculous 150m safe zone that we have to abide by in urban environments. This means that even...

14minutes is what I get when I bring it back with around 20% battery left. I've NEVER had more than 16minutese out of it. I just think it's a great pity because I love this little drone but the flight time is crippling. Whenever I have something I want to do seriously, I end up using Litchi...

Yep. It's the same in the UK on Motorways. We can't stop on them or walk about on them. The fine for that would probably be taken more seriously than flying your drone illegally (other than at Airports).

My question is. How did he legally get access to the central reservation on foot? We couldn't do that in the UK.

I know. I don't get it why peeps are preoccupied with talking the idea down, or chipping in with unrelated comments about the MM. Talk about missing the point! DUH

Well that's a maybe but only part of it. EASA want it to be under 250g WITH propeller guards on AND it must be a toy (as declared by manufacturer subject to EASA approval), for it to qualify as not needing a license to fly beyond June 2020...

The objective is clear, a longer flight time with minimal affect on the handling. The battery is already centrally located so an ideal candidate for such an optional accessory. You can throw curve ball arguments at the idea but it's already been done so they hold no water with me. I have...

I've said nothing about form factor, OEM space, or the order in which the two options of MM battery were made. You assumed that without reason. I have said that 14minutes flight time is not good and this is the basis of wanting a larger battery option; the MM was mentioned because it has two...

I AM a Qualified Electronic System Engineer myself. Doubling the power will not double the flight time but 14minutes is a joke. We just need an extra 7 minutes or so, to give it a worthwhile flight time. You can't really think that testing an increased battery size on the MA is beyond the...

Yes. Everybody knows that the MA has loads of sensors and weighs more. It's just part of the reason for wanting a bigger battery option so we can enjoy just a little more flight time.

The point is that there are options for the MM but not for the MA. A larger battery option the MA would give us a decent flight time, which we dont have at the moment.

I know the difference between Ahr and Whr. I have an Electronics Systems Engineering degree. However I dont understand what that has to do with me requesting a larger capacity battery option for the MA. Others have done it themselves unofficially, albeit Heath Robinson style. I would like to...

I'm not comparing the MA and the MM. There are two batteries available for the MM and that was the point. Making a larger battery for the MA is a relatively simple task because nothing changes in the drone and the CofG can be arranged to be the same by weight distribution in the battery case...
