Tomorrow, on wednesday we are going to fly for the first time our drone at UPC. After having some issues with the RC calibration we will test the drone. Looking forward to film it and show the results in our blog.
Few things we need to know about batteries.
Continuing with the blog and trying to improve our knowledge about drones, I am attaching a link where the differences between the two main types of batteries used, characteristics and meaning of each of the parameters are explained very well.
