Confirming much of what DrJoe shared at viewtopic.php?f=27&t=28278

Would be interested to know:
- approx. how much extra flight time is possible with the new props. and motors.
- how stability/flight performance is affected by the new props and compass module.
- with the maximum operating area for ground station based on the battery life does this mean by default flight distance can exceed 500m.
- how the cell balancing feature affects the battery life.
- does the 7th channel now work to control camera tilt for modded original controllers. (Already being discussed here: viewtopic.php?f=27&t=28427)

One cool new feature is the auto updating home position from your phones gps. Could function as a fairly basic follow me function. Hit go home and take off in your car/boat and have it chase you hands free.
