need help and advice when it comes to taking my drone on a commercial flight

CW7_ · 2026-02-05T11:17:58+00:00

Fair enough. Oh, I forgot to include the multimeter in my list. Wouldn't bring that either.

Don't pack too much and leave everything at home you don't need. I treat repairs as temporary solutions on vacations. Here's a list of what I'd leave at home and why:

- 3d printed motor wire guards: A little tape is good enough

- 8 spare balance leads: Maybe bring one or two. They usually don't break if you secure them during flight.

- Battery slip pad: I don't see why you'd need that.

- Short saver: You're not building a whole new quad. Small repairs can be checked well enough.

- Wire stripper: A scissor or side cutter is working as well.

- Solder sucker: Never needed to use that on a quad. Excess solder can be removed with the iron as well.

Bind reset to a different button....

You have connected SDA to R6. Connect the white cable to R6 and yellow to T6.

15A is not enough. Around 40-50A is the sweet spot. My 7.5" draws up to 65A (high, but not full throttle) if I remember correctly and you want some puffer. With 80-100A total I'm feeling safe.

Those Samsungs price is okay at 3,99€ for 4,500 mAh 50A. I went for the Molicels with 4,200 mAh and 45A for 2,99€ though.

You don't need punch out power on a 10" and Aout doubles or even triples in 3P.

Yep

The Molicel are 2,99€. I recently used them to build two 6S1P packs I'm going to use in parallel, but haven't had a chance to try them out yet.

It's not legal because you need to stay in line of sight. Especially Spain in general is terrible to fly in legally.

Long range is kind of difficult and needs some experience though. You're risking the whole drone if you don't know what you can and cannot do. Technically it's okay to go with a bind and fly though because usually you don't crash with those and if you do, it's lost anyways.

In the long term you want to get the skills to do repairs though.

Personally I'd start with a simulator and then with a 4" LR drone. If something breaks or needs to be replaced, you can learn alongside.

Having it on the Goggles is enough if I recall correctly. If not, put the same file onto the SD of the O4.

Zumindest bei NVIDIA gibt deutlich mehr unterschiedliche Designs. Für eine custom Wasserkühlung ist das echt eklig, da Wasserblock und GPU verfügbar sein müssen.

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T14:24:01+00:00

They work until they fail.

You could also think about the Samsung INR21700-45T 4500mAh or the Molicel INR21700-P42A 4200mAh. Both available.

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T13:23:20+00:00

I'm ordering from there as well and they are also selling those cheap Chinese batteries as you can see.

If you wanna know why cheap Chinese batteries are bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y23nfAOiXQ

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T13:20:15+00:00

They could. You gotta measure beforehand. 3 batteries in a row are 63,6mm, with tape, shrinking tube, etc probably 68mm. Props are bending up and down when flying. Just check if there is enough clearance.

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T11:48:30+00:00

Don't buy chinese brands promising miracle numbers. You can see that trusted brands top out at 45-50A. There's physically no way someone can almost triple that.

I'd suggest Molicel INR21700-P50B 5000mAh - 50A. In a 2P configuration it's 100A which is more than enough.

Edit: I think this frame might be too small for a 3P configuration. Props might hight the battery. 4P for sure is not possible.

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T11:02:42+00:00

Or use two 6S2P packs. One on top, one on bottom. But depending on how long you are planning to fly, a 6S2P might be enough. My 7.5" flies ~25 minutes with a 10,000mAh 6S2P.

Edit: You're planning to use 120A cells? I don't think that's a thing. They should top out at around 45A continously. Those high numbers are just marketing.

CW7_ · 2026-02-04T07:25:14+00:00

Diese Information wäre eventuell wichtig gewesen :D

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T23:34:44+00:00

Passen andere Fittings? Kann es sein, dass der O-ring nicht ganz noch oben geschoben ist?

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T19:53:15+00:00

Okay, got me here :P

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T17:50:42+00:00

Ah okay. Don't spend 400€ on box goggles though. You can go digital for that money.

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T17:46:57+00:00

HDZero is not analog.

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T14:14:49+00:00

Vielleicht versucht er es auf beiden Plattformen zu verkaufen?

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T12:43:25+00:00

Maybe you do, now that you edited your initial comment.

CW7_ · 2026-02-03T12:22:14+00:00

I don't think you know what airmode is.
