Rookie builder, building Tarot Ironman 650...looking for suggestions

[knowledge2484]

Hello all and thank you for any suggestions!

I currently have been flying a 250 racer for training.

Recently purchased the Tarot 650 ironman frame.

The frame is assembled and now the fun begins: I would greatly appreciate any/all guidance on motor-esc-prop selections. I am looking to get the most flight time for fpv video inspections.

Was contemplating purchasing the T-Motor 4004 KV 300 and running 14in cb props..... Any thoughts?

Thanks again in advance.

Welcome to FliteTest!

That's a big machine. You thinking 6S?

Any plans for additional weight such as a gimbal or HD camera? I.e. what is your targeted all up weight (including the lipo) and how long do you need to be in the air?

I found this thread over on RCGroups that might be of interest also.

Here is a sport build I found.
