One point about the minimum voltage - the VTX uses a lot current at full power. If you want to be able to go lower on the minimum voltage, use 25mw, which should be enough for flying within 500m or so. You can set up your transmitter to change the power levels on switches (check Bardwell video on this). If you need more power because you are further away, you should still have decent battery... just reduce the power as you get back closer to home and lower battery

I've had nothing but problems with the rekon3 and rekon35. Thankfully, getfpv took back, cause they knew it wasn't me. Then the rekon3, I haven't even taken the maiden flight outside. It shoots to over 100c in less than a minute. That's while hovering in an ac cooled room. HGLRC basically told me to go fk myself, tough luck. It didn't even have the red zeus5 (mine was a black aio), and wasn't the usual red motors (mine was gold/silver). Just a terrible experience with rekon/HGLRC. Now I'm stuck with an unflyable drone.

Great video again dave! please tell the people to invest in a proper 18650 charger which can monitor the Internal Resistance. for these little endurance quads IR of the cells matter the most. to high IR will shorten flight times considerably and will cause brownouts like you are experiencing. under 3.0V a vtc6 with to high IR (above 25mOhms) will induce micro voltage drops before sagging under 2.5V for a short time. after that the cell will take a freefall on the voltage. we are straining these cells way above their rating after all and expect it to deliver 4 - 5 amps continuously at very low voltages. a vtc6 can be discharged all the way to 2.5V.. but only with a maximum draw of 3Amps at a maximum cell temperature of 23 degrees celsius.

Hey Dave_C, I'm wondering if you can please help me with something here. I have the Rekon3 with the HGLRC Zeus5 AIO 1-2S. Unfortunately, even though the FC advertises 2 spare uarts, one of them is completely take up by HGLRC's "wifi chip" feature that they've added. Do you know if there is any way to remove the wifi chip on the device to free uart1? The new mini M10 GPSes that are out now would fit *perfect* on this quad. I do not want to run another softserial just for the GPS. Thank you for any advice or help on this.
@JohnCuppi

HGLRC support helped me out. "Th design of UART1 is different from a normal UART. It has a "wifi" module attached to it, making it impossible to access to install a GPS. And even if the wifi module is removed, the GPS cannot be installed. HGLRC confirmed that this morning."

Well, OK, have to say the loss of an effective voltage hold up is a downer. I ordered one but also have the parts, bar original spec motors which seem to be OOS everywhere, to build from the 3D Print version. A real shame that the full potential of the cells lower cut off can't be released (currently), as .5V ish is a lot to lose. I wonder whether an adaption of a Model Railway DCC add-on feature called "Stay Alive" would help to bridge the surge cut out to keep the quad in the air while recovered. The Stay Alive cct bd is tiny and capacitance hold up time can be varied using tantalum capacitors. I have some 6,800uF suoer capacitors which would size wise be possible being small enough and very light, and they give oodles (tech term) of time to cover all bar terminal voltage drop. 17,000 and 120,000uF are also available.

Disappointed. After seeing this video a learning the boost converter was omitted, I tried to cancel the order. Customer Service responded the day after they shipped it. "Sarwee!" was the response. Yeah. Right. It arrived in time to get some flights this weekend. The disappointment continues. Ships with the VTX at 25mw. I guess that helps the flight time a little. Set to 350 fixed. Jello, lots of jello. No capacitor in the box. Video is a mess with noise. Flight times around 8 1/2 minutes before it drops to 3.1v. I tried to let voltage down to 3v but the video cut out first. It needs to be flown gently. especially as the voltage drops. A little too much throttle and bye bye video. Don't expect the throttle to save you under any circumstances. This is not for beginners! Expect it to break if it falls off the work bench. It flies. But, this is just a nice experiment. I think I'm going to experiment further with a babytooth frame and use the 18650's in my goggles...
