Could be right! Really depends because the quad motors on freestyle say have massive throttle upside they can tap but it increases power draw and reduces flight time by multiples.
Yea def! You could also get into questions of cruise speed with level altitude vs in a dive etc, and you burn through batteries fast when max-performing quads!
Exactly! Didn't even mention cruise vs dive. But the latest WR for a quad doing 347mph I think, is just insane, even if drawing multi hundred amps for a few seconds only.
Oh wow, that’s even higher than this one I saw from last year @ 298 MPH for a quadcopter, but I’m not sure if this is the same criteria for the WR or build limitations etc?
Simply amazing! Do you know what the limitations for WR builds are at this level? I am guessing there is some kind of advancement on the prop/rotor(?) side of things but I would assume that those are off the shelf, like many of the parts used in quadcopter builds? I guess what I’m asking if it’s primarily a design challenge, a production challenge, a logistics challenge or all of the above? I don’t mean to minimize any aspect of the process or anyone’s work, quite the opposite. It’s a neat challenge and different teams take different approaches with some overlapping design features to my untrained eye.
