Hello every, Im new to the forum.
Some background, i have been flying helicopters (blade 400) for ~6 years and planes (taylorcraft, p-40, tigermoth) about 5 years. Never had much interest in multicopters until recently.
My plan is to build a bat bone, and later fpv it (more on that later). I think im pretty much set on the electronics im going to use for the tricopter (buying enough to make it a v tail bc i want to experiemnt).
The motors i am planning to use are NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kv / 250w

ESC: TURNIGY Plush 25amp Speed Controller
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__2163__TURNIGY_Plush_25amp_Speed_Controller.html
Flight Control: KK2 Board
My questions are:
1. Is this an adequate setup for flying a gopro. (i think it is but im always open to input)
2. Do the esc's need to be reprogrammed? Never done this before but from what i see it does not look difficult.
3. How would i set up a return to home fucntion with this setup and how does that work?
If there is a better configuration (fc board) for return to home, by all means please suggest it.
I am a total noob when it comes to multirotor setup so please give me any suggestions or explain your own that is working for you.
Now for the fpv.......this is not the topic of this thread (i will make a dedicated fpv post in that forum later) but I am open to suggestion in that realm to. I am even more lost on fvp electronics and setup than I am on tricopter setup lmao.
Plan is gopro to a 5.8 ghz fatshark system. My concerns are gopro hero 2 reliability for video output, and 5.8 ghz range when just using the googles as the receiver.
