NERD!!!! :)
Hey all
Looking for general advice regarding my first tricopter build.
I'm going to be using David's tricopter body, 1/2in booms and the rotor bones motor mounts and tilt mount
The questions I have are mainly regarding electronics.
I'm a nitro guy, limited electric experience, I can safely charge and maintain lithium batteries. I can solder, blah blah, I've got the fundamentals of it, but choosing motors for the quad is tricky business to me
I like the dt750, but I'd like to avoid using 4cell batteries. And I'm not sure if the motors will mount to the rotor ones stuff.
The blue wonders are great, but I'm wanting to fly fpv, and I'm concerned it may be anemic if I go with those.
So for starters, I'm accepting motor recommendations...
I'd be willing to pay high prices for more efficient motors, as my target flight time is. 20 min...
I'm hoping that this isn't out of the realm of possibilities.
The tricopter will haul a 1.3ghz fpv transmitter, an apm 2.5 board, and my go pro hero three. At least that is the plan!
Also esc amperage advice, I'm assuming (I know, never assume) that 30 amp would be more than sufficient...
Sorry for the newb questions, it's different to be on this end for once.
Thanks again in advance
Andy
