Dear group,

I've finally managed to put up a complete list of components for my new hexacopter, whose main purpose is aerial videography (no jello effect, >10 minutes flight time, take winds well).

Can some kind sould tell me any obvious mismatches I've made, so that I don't spend $1.5K in a mistake? That would seriously be appreciated :)

So, here it goes:

Electronics

• ArduPilot Mega 2.5 + Ublox GPS
• 3DR radio telemetry Kit (433 Hz)
• Current Sensor
• RX (AR6200)
• UBEC for the RX

Frame and mounts

• Heavy weight SIXcopter frame
• Landing legs (155mm)
• GoPro 2-axis gimbal mount, servos and vibrations dampeners
• Support plate

Camera

• GoPro HERO 3

All of the previous components' cumulated weight is 1,219g.

Drive

• Tiger Motor MT3506-25 (650)
• HobbyKing ESC (Turnigy 20A)
• Propellers (SlowFly 12x4.5, normal rotation)
• Propellers (SlowFly 12x4.5, right hand rotation)
• 2 x Batteries (5000mAh 4S 20C)
• 2 x Battery strap

I'm still probably missing some cables / adapters. Hopefully not many.

When I put all of this in ecalc, this is what I get, and it seems promising:

Any recommendations on missing components / obvious mistakes / other warmly welcome.

Thank you in advance,
