Hi guys,
With a friend we are going to build our first fpv foam plane and we decided to buy the airframe from flitetest to help support the show. Following Josh’s advice we are going to be cheap on the airframe but not on the plane’s brains. So we would like to buy a FT versa wing and to build it as a pusher.
However … will it fly with this list of future embedded components???
Apm 2.8 + GPS module
433 MHz OpenLRS 1W TX/RX module
433 MHz 1/4 dipole antenna
Dc/Dc converter (just 40gr to get the 5.5V for the OpenLRS module)
800 TVL camera + gimbal
Mini OSD
GoPro "Style" Camera (we are as cheap as we can afford to be)
900Mhz 1.5W video transmitter (yeah overkilled but was a gift so why don't use it?)
900 MHz Cloverfield antenna
Turnigy dual SBEC 5V/12V
2 servos
HK 30A esc (can be changed according the motor’s choice)
4s 5000 mAh battery (or a 2 3s 2200mAh batteries … still unclear about it … we would like to ask you for guidance in this choice. We aim to the maximum fly time)
Plus of course a know unkown yet to choose … The motor and the propeller …
Which motor/prop would you recommend for such configuration???
Will the FT versa wing fly so loaded????
We could not care less of speed or nothing different than a quite fly around, filming the highest active volcano in Europe (the Etna, here in Sicily, Italy)
