Trying mWh calcs on INAV and performing some efficiency testings and stall testing on the Firefly.

I've just started using mWh instead of mAh to get better battery capacity estimation and as it wasn't too windy today I also performed some stall tests and current draw testing with the Haohan Firefly.

Great informative flight. Very nice stall behaviour (or lack of). You made me laugh when discussing the advantage of washout (twist at 5:40) as the recording showed going inverted. Just be care not to stall inverted, as the washout normally has the opposite effect inverted. It did seem very stable inverted. Amazing agility, with impressive roll rate. Excellent voice over. There is much to like with the amount of detail the manufacture put into this design.

Haha, that's a very valid point! I hadn't thought about the washout effects being reverered when inverted. They have put a lot of thought into details such as internal antennas areas, a recessed GPS cover, direct drive servos etc. and the case design is spot-on that said I think things like the ESC access (or lack of) could be improved and perhaps a little more re-inforcement on the vertical stab. I'll work on fitting the HEQ gimbal for the next flight.

You might take a peak behind the motor mount, at some point, the esc might just be stuffed behind the motor in the tube. Given the detail elsewhere, hard to believed they overlooked. Just may not be obvious.

How about use the G-PORT😏

[@Crunklefloop]

That's the plan! I actually went to fit it yesterday however it's too big to fit with the stock mounting plate in the Firefly nose. I'm going to design a different mounting plate so I can fit it.

I can't remember who had it, but there's another guy in the UK there. I'm pretty sure who had this with the Gimble. In it and from my opinions, it looked really hard to tell if you were dropping or whatever because the camera stays steady. Even when you're banking, you have to watch your horizon on your OSD and you have to watch your altitude in your O. SD. Personally, I'm not sure I would like a Gimble like that. It would be awesome for filming though. I'm by no means saying there is a piece of crap just saying, it adds a whole another layer To flying But anyway, very nice Flight and Excellent voice over.

The other chap is Giz, he lives not that far from me. The gimbal can work well with FPV but requires some setup to be able to lock all 3 axis when actively flying (as opposed to using cruise or waypoints). I've feel I've got my camera pointing a little too far downwards in this flight. Thanks for the kind words :-)
