Hi, Firstly, my apologize because of my bad English. I am a student and I'm a really beginner in drones. Shortly, what I want to create: I would like to write my own program in C# or in Java to control my drone. I bought a Naze32 an Arduino and Nrf24

I built a quad with 4x EMAX RS2205 motors with 4s battery and 5" bullnose props. I am carrying an APM mini.
Total weight of 500g and a thrust of +3kg makes it quite powerful - especially when I get my hands on the RS2205S type...
This makes it a

I plan to build an UAV Plane for photogrammetric purpose.
As I like compute, calculate and plan before build, I try to compile the mains characteristics of the planes frames.
