High payload quad

Posted by Enrique Garibay on February 4, 2013 at 4:32pm

Hi! I'm new to these and I'm on a project to build a quad capable of a 5 kg payload, this seems to be quite high above the normal payloads people desing for, so what would you guys recomend regarding prop and motor selection? as far as I now, a big blade at low rpms is needed, I was thinking maybe a 14 in prop would do the job, but again I'm a noob on this, you guys have any sugestions??

I couldn't get to that page. It may be a temporary issue on my end but I would love to see it.
