Overall

Rating of a flight controller for both efficiency and power. Higher is better.

Value

Overall performance relative to the flight controller's price. Higher is better.

Hover Power

Estimated total power required for all four motors to hover. Lower is better.

Excess Thrust

Estimated thrust remaining after accounting for the quad's standardized weight. Higher is better.

Overall

62.6

Equal balance between hover-power efficiency and excess-thrust performance. Normalized so the best FC is 100.0. Higher is better.

Value

63.5

Overall performance relative to the flight controller's price (40% excess / 40% efficiency / 20% price). Normalized; higher is better.

Hover Power

40.2W

Hover Current × 4.0V × 4 motors — estimated total power to hover. Lower is better.

Excess Thrust

176g

(Max Thrust per motor × 4) − 128g standardized quad weight. Higher is better.
