WORK IN PROGRESS

UPDATES :

[20/08/2020]4S 5000mah LIPO + 2212 920kv + 1038 gave approximately 11mins14s flight with weight equivalent to gimbal+camera (13mins30s without).
This is correct eprformance.
However this propulsion can't handle motor loss (copter can maintain stability but sacrify yaw control because too few thrust, just allow an emergency harsh landing.
This can be solved by replacing 2212 920kv by 2216 810kv.
However by this solution low cost side is abandoned for equivalent performance.
As I want now to have compact copter only for video, I switch on 6S quadcopter design.
Conclusion : motor redundancy is efficient ONLY if thrust is more than enough, unless this, hexacopter don't have interest.
