Wingman HM Prototype Test Flight - 1S 18650 VTC5A 19mins!

Testing this time:

-HM ELRS F4 AIO - Incredible performance down to 2.8V

-HM 1102.5 11500kv - Much more efficient and powerful than previously tested Rcinpower equivalent thanks to /I believe/ quite improved features; curved magnets, lower airgap...maybe at the expense of less smoothness?

-BF4.3 RC2 - Necessary for latest ELRS 2.0 fw, default tune is pretty wobbly, lots of oscillations will need to be dampened down further down for the BNF

-Onboard VTX - tested for multipathing prone environment with linear antenna; came out ok, you can notice the feed gets significantly better once out of the structure

-SMT ELRS antenna - stock antenna is tucked in a bit far between the CF, I had telemetry loss on the parking, might replace it with a UFL on the BNF to pull a dipole out the front cage

-New frame toughness - did a few scraps and couple little crashes on concrete, nothing but light scuffs


Overall extremely pleased with the results; 19mins flight time out of a single, 3400mAh li-ion cell is blowing my mind.

Also amazing is the fact I could still pull out flips and rolls down to the last few minutes, whereas the previous built could barely gain altitude anymore long before that

I believe with a better tune I could totally play with the 30mins flight time on a 3000mAh VTC6 cruise flight

Super excited to bring it out!
