Worth noticing
Its FAQ gives a theoretical 190-pound-pilot example where added battery weight eventually reduces flight time.

Field notes

The FAQ models a 190-pound pilot using the Drogon motors and a full cowl: it says flight time peaks at about 40 minutes with roughly 600 pounds of battery, then falls. It further describes a theoretical point around 790 pounds where the motors reach their thrust limit and the aircraft can no longer hover. The page explicitly says that example has no safety margin.
