I am using a matek f7 flight controller. I need to use a servo to pick and drop a payload. I tried both servo_tilt and channel_forwarding but the servo didnt work. I remapped motors 5-8 to servo and tried set channel_forwarding_start = in cli but nothing seems to work. Is there any specific...

That sounds like a good way though it won't stop power to fc. Plus the whole idea of a switch on drone sounds absurd to me. Rules are rules, can't do anything about it

There is this fpv racing competition i am participating in. They require the use of an arming switch present in the drone to completely switch it off. The easiest way would be to connect a switch in series with the battery, but at peak throttle 120a current can pass through it and i would need a...

I have got a Matek f722 fc. When i connect it to betaflight, the model of the drone in setup starts rotating automatically. the fc is placed flat without any disturbance. pls help

Cheers! Thanks man. Happy flying!

Hehe... Thanks for the kind and supportive words. Need just one clarification. Worked really hard to bring down weight to 450(w/o battery) using pla, lets say after adding battery(total 800g) my 2207 2400kv motor can produce 430g thrust at 50% throttle drawing 6 amps. Can go upto 1200g at full...

You straight up showed me a drl racer vid. How am i supposed to even compare my lap time with it.

There are a total of 5 laps to be completed so 8 mins of total flight time. Thats what i have to aim now. If each motor takes 5 amps on average then 20 amps total ie 2600mah of battery. You have been an absolute blessing for me. I can't thank you enough.

Agreed. But this build is for a competition and many other drones will be flying so collisions will be there, almost all parts need to replaceable. Btw how much time do you think it should take to complete one lap of this course(i am a beginner)? Dimensions of the area is 100X50 ft

Thanks a ton for the quick reply! I was initially planning on 5ah then my brain struck on reducing the weight and i am totally inclined with you suggestion. I have designed the drone on my own on solidworks. I can share the photos though

I am making a 250mm 3d printed fpv quad. Weighs 600g without battery. Tmotor 2207 2250kv motor used, 4:1 thrust ratio at max. Want flight time of around 7-8 mins. What capacity battery should i use?
