Hello guys, we’ve customized a parrot disco to become a tilt-rotor Y3 quadplane. The specs are as below:

  • 3 x A2212/13T 1000kV brushless motor.
  • 3 x EMAX ESO8MDII tilt servos
  • 2 x MG90S Digital elevon servos
  • 3S 3000mAh 60C LiPo battery
  • Total weight: 1600g

Many flight tests were done and it is consistently observed that the aircraft couldnt stay on air for even a minute before the battery starts depleting and the aircraft decends by itself. On average across the many tests, the aircraft takes off at ~70% throttle. We tried removing 130g of weight (landing sticks) as we thought it could be the weight that was holding it down but it still couldnt stay more than a minute.

Do you guys think the battery specs is not suitable for the config or could the battery that we’re using be faulty? Or could it be the weight or something else?

Thanks in advance.
