I'm unsure if this will be a V-tail or a quad. I'm more interested in the authority that a Vtail has, with the advantage of the Tri without some of the negatives. (Such as: a motor goes out and the Tri crashes. Same is true for quad or V, but less likely to destroy all things.) I'm also interested in cheap. Like, really cheap. E-bay cheap. I almost bought a kit from Hobby King. I had a ton of troubles with their ordering card system, so I didn't.
These things were bought from Amazon:
Andoer A2212/13T 1000KV brushless
Andoer SimonK 30A ESC with 3A 5A BEC (Do I need this much amperage? I also rememberd reading about BEC's being bad or something for Quads.)
Hobbypower KK2.1
Sorry about the lack of links, I can't copy and paste.
I'm considering a V-tail that I saw... somewhere. I'll edit this post when I find it. All of the ones I'm considering need to be 3D printed. If I ordered the wrong parts here, I can return them to Amazon, so feel free to recomend other things. I have a parkflyer remote (it sucks but works until I get something better) and am undescided (fluid) about the exact build.
Edit: It's the Horus Vtail! There's also a Hunter Vtail I like, but I can't find any files for it.
Edit2: The Hunter is commerical,and I can see the files, but don't have permission to download. However, the Vtail that is on the OpenPilot forums looks good: search openpilot forums 42022-v-tail-quad
I want authority in flight, and I want it to be fun to fly. FPV at some point. Like others, though, it needs to be upgradable... and the world of brushless and ESC's is confusing.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for the advice! This is a very good community.
