This is a Drone to Own! The 6S HGLRC Petrel 132 FPV Drone

Wow, thank you!

[@positivecommenter1]

Same lol

[@rumingjiang9645]

I thought a lower discharge rate and a higher capacity will giver you more flight time and a higher voltage gives you more power? and is it possible for a very high discharge 4s to have similar performance as a low discharge 6s?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

All depends on the drone. The Petrel is a race drone of sorts so it wants power. If you have a LONG RANGE drone, then the motors are designed to be efficient and you can trickle power to them. Those drones are not concerned with discharge rate (i.e., C Rating)

I now own both versions. 6s is the way to go! The extra weight and low end grunt makes it fly more like a 5in. And the flight times are considerably longer. (The 4s version does seem faster on the top end but the battery usually starts to sag by the time you at max speed)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If you are serious and a beginner, get yourself a CAMERA DRONE like the DJI MAVIC MINI. If you just want to fly two or three times and then never again, then get yourself a budge drone like a CSJX7 PRO. The drone in this video is an FPV DRONE and it takes practice and skill to fly. Watch my series on FPV FOR BEGINNERS to learn about the FPV drone hobby.

Hey Captn', awesome video! I'm new to FPV but really considering diving in with this drone and the shopping list you posted. the drone linked page has many models with different receivers. Which one would I have to buy to be compatible with the RadioMaster TX16S? Also, does the drone + 6S battery weigh over 249g? Thanks!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You would get the FRSKY XM+ receiver

[@moendopi5430]

How does it handle in the air between the 4S and the 6S? Any issues with the added weight from the 6S battery? And you got as a long a flight as I used to with my old Spark! Also, and I stole this idea from Joshua Bardwell, a good way to monitor your battery voltage is to added not just the full battery voltage, but also have the cell voltage. I find that to be a lot more helpful. Especially if you switch between different cell sizes, the voltages will be different, but the cell voltage will always be the same. Then you can tell if you are pushing the cells dangerously low.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Handles the same. Just, as excepted with the 6S, there is more ZIP in performance.

Thanks for the review captain! I have a question, do you think one reason the battery life is so long is because along with it being so light, it uses two blade props instead of the usual 3? I've read 2 blades are more efficient since there is less drag. Maybe you covered that in a previous episode, but I can't remember :)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That certainly helps a bit, but the efficiency comes from the motors & ESC.
