Building an x8 octo copter. Anyone have any suggestions on the type of motor (Brand and KV) type of props? (12in / 14in ) that would work best on a 380mm airframe running a 5500 mha batt in the center and a gimbal on the front? Just a gopro gimbal (brushless motor drive)
Im really going back n fourth with 700kv to 500kv ect. Its my last stumbling block on my order.

well if your going that small your still you need 1000kv 1800kv 8x4 props
suggest hobby king D2822/17 1100KV BEST for that size you will need 2 3s battery
380mm frame will limit your prop size. This will guide you towards smaller props and higher kv motors, at the cost of efficiency/flight time.
how about nether getting some good flight times from 3S batters 15x5 CF props so-pose to run on 6S if you do not want to use large props go with hiyer KV motors.
SUNNYSKY V3508 380kv I will try X4410S as well but all nice less expensive than RC Tiger motors.
