my research team has recently bought a 1meter wide carbon fiber frame that can hold 24lbs. since the frame can hold that much we want to be able the carry that much. mulitple gps units, better INS, airborn Lidar, ...ect. So i was seeing if you guys had any suggestions on mottors. i ve been looking at the e-flights and hackers but there on the expessive side. Not that money is an issue its more so is it over kill to have those type of mottors or not?
thanks in advance

thank you for all of your replies.
We are mostly trying to see what it would take to lift that much. We do not plan on lifting 24 lbs. right away nor pushing the frame to its limits. The purpose of this post is to ask the rc community what your suggestions are for motors, batteries, and motor controllers. We want to use the system to do on the fly survey grade photogrammatry.
@Scifly we are currently mastering and smaller version of the quad copter with four 200 series turnigy motors. Better INS meaning in the four figure range, and yes less drift, more precise.
@Ersin Acar we will not have the frame until next week. i will post pictures when we have it. We purchased it from www.rchhobbyhelicopoter.com it is made with 12k German carbon fiber.
