Please I need some advice anyone!
Im putting together an octocopter. Im going to be using the Turnigy G-10 810kv motors.
According to the attached copter xcoptercalc, all will be fine.
I just want someone other than a calculator to tell me it should work.
I dont wanna buy 8 motors to find that it dont fly...
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope ;)

OIC you already did that!
mauahahahaha
Do you really need an OCTO? I started on a octo...it was overkill and hard to transport, build with what you want to lift inmind
Checkout my hexa using 6 of the Turnigy SK3536 910kv 310w, I have a 3 axis gimble and retracts to mount shortly, with a 8ah 4s im 3.4kg
The yellow ropes where on as I was doing PID tunig aka strap it inbetween 2 seats and tune (The best way to tune)
Go here, and select the motor from the drop down menu, set up the rest as you would have it incl weight and WHAM the force will be with you!
