Hi
I am rather a beginner in multicopter flying and I am planning to build a miniquad by myself. It should become kind of an allround quadcopter that is powerful enough for acro flying and carrying a lightweight fpv setup. But mainly it should have a long flight time (for a miniquad).
The motors I have in mind are
Lumenier rx2206 2000kv
Lumenier rx2206 2350kv
Cobra 2204 2300kv
mainly because of their high efficiency.
I am not sure about the battery: is 3S more efficient or 4S?
See my planned setup for the quad below:
Frame: DIY aluminum - OR - ImpulseRC Warpquad
Battery: ~2000mah 3S
ESCs: some 30A
Props: 5030 / 6040 (depends on motor)
Flightcontroller: Custom build (project still in planning)
RX: nrf20L01 module (fitting my diy FC)
Planned size: 230 - 250mm
Planned weight: ~500g
Are my suggested motors as efficient as I assume (compared to others)? And which one do you recommend?
Do you have any general recommendations on motors / props / batteries / ESC's?
I hope you have some time to answer my questions.
Thank you in advance
