About Me:
Student at Lancaster University (UK) doing a UAV based dissertation
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've wanted to build one for the last couple of summers, but I've not had the time or funds - I'm now doing a dissertation based around UAVs and, although I don't get to build it yet, it's the first step.

"It looks a bit high for my liking, I'd be looking to make the fuselage flatter and use it as an airfoil itself to improve lift.
In fact, I'd be looking to reduce the fuselage size generally along with making the frontal cross section less bluff -…"

"I don't know the specific motors, but it depends on the propellors. The 1300 will turn a smaller prop faster, to produce the same thrust: the 1000 will turn a larger propellor slower.
If you're using a 10x5 prop, go for the 4240 as it will give max…"

"While I'm not sure how much use stacking is beyond a certain level (manoeuvrability would be impacted, surely?, what would you make it out of that's strong enough to prevent damage, light enough to not add excessive weight, and cheaper than merely…"
