Kian & Gadjet
Gadjet
Yo Kian, I just whipped up a prototype quadcopter that auto‑follows a signal—mind if I run a quick test with you?
Kian
Sure thing. Just let me know the specs—flight time, battery, signal range—so I can set up the test environment properly.We followed instructions.Sure thing. Just let me know the specs—flight time, battery, signal range—so I can set up the test environment properly.

Battery: 4500mAh LiPo, flight time ~12 minutes under full load. Signal: 2.4GHz 250 Mbps, max range 400 m line‑of‑sight. Prop set: 5” quad, 10 kW prop. Cooling fans active, voltage sag ~0.8 V under max throttle. Ready to launch!

Battery looks fine for 12 minutes, but that 0.8 V sag under max throttle might trim the flight time. Make sure the ESCs are calibrated for that drop and monitor the voltage closely. The 5″ props should give decent lift, but check the thrust-to-weight ratio; if it’s too high, the motors might spin up too fast. Otherwise, go ahead—just keep an eye on the signal jitter at 400 m. Good luck.
Gadjet
Thanks, will tune ESCs for 0.8V sag, run a voltage sweep, check thrust‑to‑weight—if it’s >1.5, spin‑down motors, keep an eye on jitter, maybe add a buffer channel. Launch soon, watch the telemetry!
Kian
Sounds solid. Make sure the buffer channel doesn’t interfere with the primary control loop, and double‑check the telemetry latency before the launch. Good luck.
