Hey guys,
I'm back on the forum after a bit of time away from the sport. I've been really busy with a new job, house, and our first child so I haven't had too much time to post.
Anyway, on to the matter at hand. I was at an auction a few weeks back and up to the block comes a dji flamewheel f450. It seemed like it was going way too cheap so I put my hand up. Long story short I'm the proud owner of it.
It came with 4 sunny sky 2216-11 880kv motors and 30amp ESC's. It's also running 9x5 3 blade props. Is this a good combo? What would be a good battery to run with this? The only info I got with it was the previous owner ran 2100 3s lipos for sport and 3000 4s for fpv. I have a ton of 2200 3s from my trex 450 I could use but I mostly want to run this for fpv and want long flight times over performance.
I plan on running a light, 1-200watt 5.8ghz setup and will not be flying bvr at this time. The rx I'll use will either be a spektrum 6200 with sat or an orange rx 615 as both have proven reliable in the past. I've ordered a hk v3 flight controller to try out but I'm already thinking an upgrade to a multi wii setup will be in the near future.
