12. HOVERBIKE DRONE Batteries The Hoverbike Drone requires 6S batteries 6 cell Lithium as it needs the 22 2V to drive the motors and propellers at the correct RPM Using a lower cell count battery voltage will cause the Hoverbike Drone to be underpowered due to the slower spin ning propellers To ensure long flight times a high energy density battery is preferred To achieve 14 minutes flight time with no load you will need 6000mAh batteries This could be either 1x 6000mAh 6S or 2x 3000mAh 6S To increase flight time to 19 min utes you will need to either increase the pack mAh or put more packs in parallel The Hoverbike Drone is currently wired up to accept two packs in parallel As this is a quadcopter a high power density C rating is not required The peak current draw with the standard two packs 3000mAh in parallel is less than 45A This means that the batteries are using just over 1 3rd the rated current of a 20C pack Flight controller The Hoverbike Drone uses the Pixhawk flight controller We tested our own flight con troller and the DJI flight controller and found the Pixhawk to be the superior controller in terms of functionality control and user interaction If you want to find out more about this controller please see http store 3drobotics com products 3dr pixhawk Speed controllers The Hoverbike Drone uses 30A speed controllers These speed controllers are op to isolated which means that they have control electronics bu
