Someone is lying....

Or I'm just interpreting facts incorrectly 😷

According to the spec sheet for the motor, my setup should be generating a max of 825g. However, as seen with my mock test stand, I am only able to generate up to 290g.

Therefore, as shown with the assembled drone, it's too heavy to fly.

At first, I thought the lack of thrust on the drone was due to poor positioning of the motors on the drone. However, as shown with the test stand video, my raw naked motor by itself is also generating little thrust. Therefore, I think the issue is caused by not enough current going into the motor.

ELECTRONICS! They strike aGaIN :(
