Hello! I have been reading up in these when I can over the last month and absolutely hooked on how much fun this could be.
My goal is to stream video to a Command Center and have full automatic flying using Paparazzi. I haven't figured out the streaming camera setup in regards to using a NTSC broadcasting then record the stream or if I want to do a separate 802.11N network with a HD webcam. I think I have built in an extra 400-600 grams to accommodate the video system, but unsure of the RF interference and those variables. Paparazzi is built and running on an Asus netbook.
I used the calculator and the Liza/M 2.0 Paparazzi page as a start:
Bruzzlee - recommended configuration
Airframe:
Turnigy Talon Carbon ($34 + shipping, weight = 240g): HobbyKing Option
Autopilot/IMU:
Lisa/M 2.0 + Asprin - where to buy?
GPS :
uBlox LEA-5H Product Page or perhaps something from DIYDrones site
Motors:
Scorpion 2215-900 V2 ($72/ea, 68.6g/ea): RCDude Scorpion
Telemetry:
XBee Pro 60mW ($40) XBee vendor option
or ZBee Pro-900 DYIDrones Store
Propellers:
Left (counter clockwise) Carbon ($49x2) : MK Carbon Left
Right (clockwise) Carbon ($49x2): MK Carbon
Battery:
Turnigy nano-tech 4400mah 2S 65-130C LiPo ($30)…looks like 5V regulator but depends on servos configuration: HobbyKing option
Reciever:
OrangeRX R100 ($12): HobbyKing Option
Electronic Speed Controllers (with SimonK firmware):
DYS 30Amp SimonK Flashed ESC
I would rather use Castle to support the local company but not 100% sure they are optimized for a quadcopter. Pending communications from them.
Camera Setup (TBD):
Battery Eliminator Circuit:
For testing: CastleCreations

* This is minimum for just a static basic camera. This will increase a lot with 2-3 axis and servos
**Does not account for all the cables, tie downs, JTag, and stuff I am missing
Transmitter: 7 or 8 channel compatible one of some sort
Note: HobbyKing: if you stay on the page long enough they will flash up a discounted one-time deal
