My APM will disarm itself if you don't touch the throttle after 10 or 15 seconds.

One thing to take into consideration is prop tip speed. There will always be an efficient speed for the tip. being outside of that reduces efficiency. This is why smaller props can spin faster because the tip has less distance to travel for one revolution and is not moving as fast to get the same RPM. I can't give numbers cause it's not my area of expertise but something I've watched and learned from the experts. Just something else to make it even more complicated.
Hi ikem!
That gimbal looks really good but I can't find it anywhere on the net. Do you know what it is called and where I can find it?
Thanks in advance

That's a sweet battery tray/gimbal mount. I like the mounting provisions for the gimbal controller. Disregarding the motors, it looks pretty light.just waiting on Hobbyking!

I didn't know Fortis was working on their own, so I began making my own:

Unfortunately my gimbal is super heavy. It still flies ok with the gimbal and an extra 920mAh 3s strapped to it. However, I just added my FPV transmitter, and in the process of re-wiring my power distribution harness to run everything on my main battery I accidentally burned up my gimbal controller. While I am waiting for a new gimbal controller, I'll probably take it all apart and have the aluminum parts milled down more.
Are you going to do more testing with the gimbal?
I am currently running the T-motor 2212-13 980kV with 10x5 Graupner props. I was burning through about 2500mAh of power in 11-12mins running the normal camera mount and GoPro without the gimbal. I'm running a 2700mAh 3s Thunderpower pack.
Yes it's the RTFQuad gimbal which they sell for the Flip FPV Pro Gimbal frame. I drew up a quick mount and had a machinist buddy make it for me.nice! is that a rtfquad gimbal?
I am getting around 8 min to burn 2500mah right now with the regular camera tray and a 3600mah. What is your total frame weight? I must just have a lot of problems with flight times.... everyone gets about 50% more than I ever do.
