I had the maiden flight of my FPV DJI naza hexa today. The maiden flight was a success. Mt setup is the naza FC, reflashed HK f-30a escs, RCTimer 2830/14 750 kv motors, APC 1047 SF props, Ezosd, IRC 2.4 600mw vtx, Dragon Link UHF, Gopro2 and 4s 4900mah battery. My RTF weight is 2092g's.

I can lift more with the hexa as compared to the quad. Its only 400g's heavier so I can add mahs to expand my range. I'm using the live feed out of the gopro2.

Yes, but this is where i'm confused, you have twice the power to lift but you draw twice the power of a quad, so you need to carry twice the battery power..It's not like 4 penny for a dollar??

I have 50% more power, just two more motors then the quad. I'm drawing 17a in a hover with the quad(1700g's, 3300 4s bat)) and the hexa draws 20a in a hover(2100g's, 4s 4900bat). True, if you go higher in capcity, your adding weight and increasing amp draw. Somewhere there will be a happy medium between weight and amp draw. I have a wide variety of bats to try. Small trips at first and then a try at 5km. I'll find the right combo first.
