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!AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

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!
