i am impressed by the video of quads and how fast they move in any direction.
the concept here is how high can i build a quadcopter to go?
contest: who can get their quadcopter the highest on a fixed size of battery?
i imagine that the ideal prop for higher altitudes is different than down at sea level.
but fortunately the speed of sound is higher up there leading to higher potential prop tip speeds... so would be able to run larger props at higher rpm to get lift even at altitude.
if could maintain 10m/s vertical for 600 seconds the unit could be 6 km or 20K feet up. take a photo up there!
but i want to log altimeter over time curve with quad going straight up. what do you think? can optimise for climbing?
