How can this quadcopter be so stable having its propellers so close to the center CG. Isn't this suppose to affect its balance?
Here is an image with a top and bottom view, you can see how the props cover almost half the fuselage:
By comparison this is an image of a typical quadcopter drone. As can be seen, the props are more far away from the CG and the props don't overlap the fuselage:
I'm just gonna say MOAR POWER!
The distance to the centre of gravity certainly matters. However, the Avata uses penta-blade propellers rather than the bi-blade propellers used by many other DJI drones, while maintaining the same proportions between the size of the fuselage and the propellers.
Having seen the Avata 1 and 2 in action, I can confirm that they are more powerful than your average DJI drone. However, they are still underpowered compared to a real FPV drone. While I appreciate DJI making FPV drones more accessible, I wouldn't really recommend them, as I've seen many friends quickly reach the limits with them and then buy a more powerful FPV drone soon after.
