set up question for an RQ-11

Posted by Adam Gunderson on December 7, 2011 at 11:29am

OK i been looking and cant find what im looking for so im asking for help.  Building a projet RQ-11, and need to know a cut and dry setup for the UAV. Best motor, battery, ESC and prop to handle all the electronincs for autopilot, gps videocamera, all of that. I would like the flight time to be hour + if possible.

 

Thanks

    does anyone else have different motors they have used on this plane?  thanks for the input Tom.

    I dont need anything to go fast, i just want it to be able to fly with the added weight.

    The eCalc electric flight calculator might be a good point to start planning your power system. It allows you to choose motor/esc/battery/prop combinations and calculates resulting current/voltage/RPM/thrust/pitch speed.

    I understand that the nitro planes guy has a 480 on it in the video, but I cant find a coversion for the specs that they suggest.

     

    Motors: 2835~3035 size  how does 480 3010-1020KV  equal 2835~3035??
