I've been sitting on my Anycopter Hex project I wanted to build with my father in-law. I am thinking of getting it started but have been going back and forth on the powerplants. I am planning on basing it on Chad Kapper's hex they used on the show, using it for FPV video. Want to get a gimbal on it as well. Gonna start with KK2.1 board but prob use this platform to learn my way into APM later on. This will be my test bed multirotor platform I think.
Question is what kind of motors do I set it up with?
A) Chad Kapper's inexpensive Hextronik 24g 1300kV motors http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=48047
B) NTM motors with a lower kV? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=42710
C) Start trying out RC Timer motors at a lower kV? http://www.rctimer.com/product_813.html
After thinking of upgrading the motors to lower kV/higher power setups I was wondering how much the wooden frame could handle? Will that be a problem? I'll probably go with 20amp AfroESC's, do I need the 30amps?
Any advice would be appreciated. Will make a separate build thread when I end up getting all the parts together.
