For a drone of that size/weight, experience says you’ll need at least a 4S system.
Noted, thank you. I do plan to switch from a 3S to a 4S now with all the recommendations. Do you have any resources that provide concrete arguments about the choice of number of cells for a given motor/kv/prop combination? A google search yielded some very ambiguous results for me.
Got any of this junk?
Hardware to avoid
I have the fmuv3 based Pixhawk 2.4.8 considering that it is the easiest to obtain in my region. I will eventually switch to Holybro Pixhawk 4 once I break a few vehicles with this one. I just got some EMAX ESCs and motors to replace my generic ones, so getting better. ;))
BR,
