AtomRC Dolphin - Launches on 4S and 6S

Описание: Comparing launches of my AtomRC Dolphin

I had three flights on my AtomRC Dolphin before it met an untimely demise due to some kind EdgeTX/IRC Ghost/Horus X10S-slow-inverter-failsafe perfect storm. Initially built with a 2208 1750kv spinning an HQ 7x4.5 on 4S, none of the launches (INAV auto launches) were particularly confidence-inspiring. Though the plane flew well in the air with that power system, I didn't like the sound of the prop trimming the grass as it came within inches of the ground. So after the plane augered into the dirt and needed some repair anyway, I swapped the 2208 motor for a 2807 1300kv and the 4S 2200mAh for a 6S 1500mAh.

The first launch (and flight) on 6S was fantastic. Not a hint of doubt anywhere in the sequence. The prop does sound like it's distorting a bit at full power (HQ 7x5.4 V1S bi-blade), but anything below that and the plane just goes. I'm quite happy with the upgrade.
