Help with bicopter (parts,ideas/thoughts)

Hi!

I'm new here, and also new to rc copters, drones and stuff.

What i want is to build a bicopter from scratch with good thrust/lifting capabilities

so I have a good rig/base for later projects and experimentation.

I think I'm going to use some Master Airscrew 3-blade props but I need some help

from you guys finding some strong and hopefully cheap enough motors.

I'm hoping someday I can afford a hd camera, big battery(s) for longer flights/tasks,

fpv and other equipment so the total weight can get very high..

I have some arduino controllers and servos I want to use for the bicopter but everything

else, except frame parts, I have to order.

Here's a short list of what I have to order:

props

motors

gyro/sensors

battery

transmitter w/receiver

Do I need things like ESC, accelerometer, compass, gps?

Is it cheaper to buy a wii motion plus for gyro's?

Feel free to comment or give me some tips and pointers on

what I have to consider and if you know of any parts I could use:)

  • Toffefe,

    I hope you will spend some time reading more about the projects here.  Some of your questions lead me to believe that you could gain quite a bit of knowledge from spending more time on these pages.

    I seriously doubt a bi-copter would be a stable platform for any sort of camera.  A tri-copter would be a minimum but a quad makes a much better platform.  If you are going to hang some expensive cameras from the bird, you might consider a hexi or octo-copter.
