Transplanting the components from my Realacc MM130-o (Owl-style clone) onto a smaller frame.
162g dry, 263g with 850mAh 45C 4S Nano Tech.
I'm trying to design my first build and I am thinking about putting these 1408 4100kv motors on the 145mm GEPRC frame. (http://geprc.com/product/geprc-gep-gr1408-4100kv/). I also want to run the runcam split 2 with a 850mAh 4S battery. I'm assuming those motors would give me more punch power, but I do not know as I have never built a quad yet. Is this possible/would it be worth it?
I'm no expert on 3" builds, but I think the consensus is that 14xx is more 4" territory than 3", unless you want to run really heavy/aggressive 3" props (which might give you more punch, but wouldn't necessarily fly as smooth nor as long). These 1306/4000 certainly aren't lacking in punch (
) while still getting a good 5 minutes on an 850 4S - & apparently these Emax ones aren't even considered that good anymore as 13xx motors go!FPV has had quite a journey. Just a few years ago we started racing drones around a track and doing flips over trees, but professional cinematic FPV is a more recent development. DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..

With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..

Do you know the weight of the aluminium top part (the canopy) with its screws and standoffs? Without the carbon base frame. Thanks!
No idea I'm afraid & I'm not planning to pull it apart to rebuild it quite yet!
