Hi
I'm looking to build an octocopter and was hoping some of you could have a look at my parts list and give me some advice, whats good whats not, anything I may have forgotten...
ArduPilot Mega kit
HMC5843 - Triple Axis Magnetometer
RCTimer P-ESC 40A
BC2836-11 Motors
Graupner Elektro Prop 11"x5
Zippy Flightmax 5000mAh, maybe the 8000mAh ones
Turnigy MAX80W battery charger
Xbee telemetry from sparkfun
The Frame I can make myself from tube I already have.
Any input would be great.
Thanks

anyone got an idea what is the difference between RCTimer's BC2836-9 motor (with 40cm wire) and Jdrones motor ?
they are totally identical.
on the former jdrones motors there was a label A2836. so what's the difference between BC and A ?
Jani, could you please expand on this ?
do you test jDrones motors for correct balance ? load tests ?
I've had some issues with RCTIMER BC2836:
one had the motor fixing screws holes totally off - different place than others
one propeller spinner was really unbalanced - totally offside
and one came shorted at the lever of the shrink at the motor input wires - solved it, but still...
