Hi All

Below is my recent post looking for advice, I have since had a bit of a look around & below is the stuff I have come up with.

Would you mind having a look at the info I have put here with a view to commenting if I am on the right track?

I have not yet looked at motors as I guess that takes a bit more to work out, so any recommendations on motors & props to complement the frames & equipment would be handy.

This frame looks like it will do the job, is there anything here that will cause any headaches when crashing?

Here is another one I have looked at.

I also had a look at the “Bumblebee” frame which looks good to, so many things to choose from, any advice on where to head from here? I am all ears!!

From my limited knowledge, the info & items contained in this build seem like a good fit for what I want to achieve, I would plan to use the components as listed, but feed-back here would be good to make sure that is a good move? I will use the better telemetry antenna too.

Does it make sense to use the Qbrain or would I be better off using individual ESC’s, what happens if one out-put dies? Will the whole thing be a throw away?

Is there a big difference in the handling of a quadcopter in relation to its size? is wider prop design easier to fly or smaller?

cheers
