TRex 500 => I / V / W / Weight => reference
Just want to share reference parameters I obtained for TRex-500.
Settings:
Motor: Align 500L (origional);
Battery: Tunder Power eXtreme v2 (6S / 2600 mAh / 25C / 425 gram);
Flying Weight: 1995 gram;
Hovering mode:
==========
Current=11.6A;
Voltage under load= ~22.35V (after 2 minutes);
Power consumption= 262W;
You will be surprise to know that my TRex 450 SE v2 is consuming 11.4A in a hovering mode (power consumption ~ 125W);

As we see additional power for TRex 500 is coming from doubled voltage (6S instead of 3S).
I was able to hover my TRex 500 for 10.5 minutes in close proximity from the ground.
Quite impressive setup for just hovering mode.
Of course Tunder Pover eXtreme v2 (6S 2600 mAh 25C) have more juice than is stated for 3D flights.
I feel it is arround 3000 mAh for 20C scale or probably 3300 for 15C scale.
See my first test flight with TRex-500 equiped with Tunder Pover eXtreme v2 (6S 2600 mAh 25C):
