Good day everyone. I am planning to build a quadcopter to be used for image processing. This is for my undergraduate thesis research. This is my first time to build a UAV and I have many questions. I hope that you can help me to build it.
I will fabricate the chassis by using aluminum parts and two 10 in. x 10 in. PCB board for the central plate. The length of the arms of the quad will be at 30 in.
For the ESC: http://www.hobby-wing.com/hobbywing-pentium-30a-brusless-esc.html
For the motor, I already have bought a 1300kV brushless motor and a 935kV motor but I don't know what to use. These are the motors:

A 10 x 4.5 propeller will be used.
For the battery: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Tiger-11-1v-4500mah-30c-RC-lipo-battery-1224917/704742_543361257.html (11.1 V 4500mAH 30C)
I will be using APM 2.5, 3DR Telemetry Kit and MinimOSD for the electronics.
Having these settings, what is the estimated max altitude that I can reach and how long will be the max flight time of the quad?
Thanks.

hi john,
i am siddu from india doing my U.G,i am also doing a quadcopter for my main project
it will be much helpfull if you suggest me in building it. as i have only 2months to build it i need
your help.
John,
How is your project coming? I have similar ambitions - autonomous navigation via monocular vision and onboard processing (thinking about using a Raspberry Pi's GPU for image processes)
