Best Multirotor Platform /Setup??

Posted by Hassan Jarri on May 20, 2013 at 5:25am

 Hi, how are you people?
 I am new to this interesting hobby and i have some really good projects in mind which specifically include FPV flying for around 25-35 minutes atleast . I would like to get your advice on which platform to use and what all materials to use considering that my budget at the moment is restricted to around 600-800$ and i already have an APM 2.5 along with telemetry kit at hand . Am just unable to decide that should i go for a quad, hexa, or an Y-6. And with which props, motors and other parts.
 Thanx in advance for all the help.

    If you are new, get an inexpensive Quad and learn about the system. Crashing seems part of the hobby. A quad can carry a small GoPro camera and analogue video transmitter. See 3D Robotics sells kits here http://store.3drobotics.com as do others like http://www.jdrones.com http://www.canadadrones.com

    hello,

    sorry I sort of misled you before you can get 30min flight time from a large 1000 mm Quad copter but it is going to cost you.

    6s lipo 12000mah

    4x 60amp ESC 

    4X 17X4 CARBON FINER PROPS

    4X 390kv motors

    1 X large 12000 mm frame

    30min no payload

    you can find kit here:

    You will not get 25 to 35min from a comical air frame. Saying that size matters you can build a small FPV Quad no problem that will get you a 20minits flights no problem. The secret is to overpower under stress.

    Motors that will handle a 11-10 inch prop & use 8 inch props this lessens the current draw. Use a 4 in one ESC because it's lighter & more efficient than 4 separate ESC's. Use 2 lipo's instead of one, very the C rating between 2 lipo's like 25C & 50C.
