How do I get air data where do I get that from

You can search it. @msinger has a tutorial on his webpage

Great! Could you share how much it drains in relation to the mains?
Ooh..and also if gps keeps constant lock.

Did it keep a GPS lock?

Yes

 

[djhoodrich]

I think Skynet is the new record holder for time in the AIR.

 

[djhoodrich]

plenty of clearance no problem with compass or GPS

OK my next test will be my antennas but I really like my windsurfers they work really really well. On my windsurfers I have two layers of aluminum and one layer of copper to do the reflecting

Why didn't you try two side mounted 3cell each Titan batteries? Wouldn't that be better weight distribution?

I first started with two 1500mah battery is on the side but every time I would put them on the side my drone with just rise up in the air and keep rising I couldn't figure out why it was doing that so I rather have the battery sitting on top doesn't interfere with anything

 

[djhoodrich]

Side mounting did not work for me

 

[djhoodrich]

Oh one more thing I'd like to tell the forum thumb stick covers are the truth you can handle the drone so much better with them.

I'll admit, I wasn't expecting the numbers DJ put up. I was basing my guess on my tests with the 4S variant of the Titan pack on the P3. Hats off to you. I'll order one up and do my own testing. I've got a meter and an IR thermometer to check. I'll also plug in a voltage alarm just to see if the Titan pack sags under load. This is quite a surprise.

Hmm. Those aren't the Titan batteries? I thought you had a 3 cell Titan battery also?

I love the 18650 batteries and what people are doing with them.

I think this Titan pack is a killer solution.

I realize that 308g is half probably of the weight it could carry, but did it mess with your flight behavior?

I just ordered a better battery charger off of eBay with a display, maybe I can get that data you need

I ve had as much as 480g on top for long distance. Was normal flight in gusty conditions, mavic did not mind.
If you want to do semi-aerobatics maybe not the best option.

No I have in TITAN 1-2.6 and 1-7.0 and 2-1500mah MadDog LIPO 30c

Which charger?

 

[djhoodrich]

Which charger?

this one

 

[Ranch]

this one

DANG! That's cheaper than the chargers I've seen at HobbyKing

 

[djhoodrich]

DANG! That's cheaper than the chargers I've seen at HobbyKing

But I had to order a power supply to with the power supply is it still cheaper than Hobby King

Who told him to go away? Eating crow now! lol.

Maybe this DJ has figured something out?

If I remember the 18650's are what's inside of the battery packs for the Titan?

Yeah you'll see. Those batteries will not last long at all at those levels. I do not like 18650 cells and still don't. And I'm not eating anything right now.
