new ArduCopter project - help with checklist !

Posted by ARHEXA on March 23, 2011 at 6:31am

Hi,

 

so I will order these for a new arducopter project:

 

what will I need in addition to that ?

Lipo ordered - 14.8v or 11.1v

 

do you have any recommendation for a Radio TX and RX - for Arducopter ?

with easiest setup and features, and cheapest of course.

i need 500-800m range, not more....

 

Thanks !

    well, why not a bridge,

    because I have a few DSLR's and all sort of lenses.

    so that's like telling somebody to ride some bike instead of his Ferarri....

    also, I spend quite a bunch on the copter, you dont expect me to buy a small camera now...

     

    yes, i have DSLRs that i'm ready to sacrifice for the aerial photography,

    and yes, i'll be practicing a LOT before attaching any piece of camera to it.

     

    Finally, I'm going on the 28cm arms, bigger motors (880kv) and 12" props.

    I can't allow failures in terms of re-ordering bigger motors or props, plus losing time on that...

    Wait for the Turnigy 9X to come back in stock. Its certainly not the best but at $50 its just an epic buy.

    I'd go with 3S (11.1v) as chargers are cheaper but if you intend on long flights it might be better to 'bite the bullet' and get the 4S stuff from the start.
