Hello, everyone!
I'll cut straight to the chase... so, I'm building a flying wing type craft that is 4ft (1.2m) of wingspan, with the intent of FPV flying. Estimated all-up weight is about 900-1000 grams (around 2 lbs). Now, what my main question is... where do I start to look for making the power-pack for this thing? Meaning: What size motor/prop do I need (in therms of thrust, power), because after I know what motor and prop, hence how many amps it would draw for a specific amount of thrust, I can go on to choosing the ESC and battery (preferably 3S). Should I look for motors that have the same thrust as the weight of my craft or what? Looking for some pointers...
P.S.: Oh yeah... it needs to be relatively cheap... not very expensive top-shelf motors, just some basic good worth for my money work-horse motors.
Thank your for the help and advice in advance! Looking forward to having some light shed on the matter.
