Greetings gentlemen!
I'll try to make this as short as possible for you guys. I have been doing research to try to figure out the best platform that I can use for a project I'd like to tackle and eventually accomplish.
The end goal is to build an aircraft capable of flying with an 18-20lb maximum payload and 5-10 min flight times, specifically a camera/ lens/ stabilization equipment that will provide me with professional results once everything is fine tuned and properly set up.
Keep in mind this is the end goal, the road is long and I'm realistic about it. I would to DIY as much as I can, I am mechanically oriented and am decent with electronics. I have access to CNC equipment and can make my own parts. However, I'm very much a noob when it comes to flight so I will need your guidance and technical advice.
My R/C flight experience consists of an el cheapo Esky Heli, so virtually none.
So here is the main question, can this be done feasibly with these requirements? (20lb payload, 5-10 min flight times). The camera setup I'd like to use in the end will more than likely weigh closer to 15lbs- but I'd like to play it safe.
So if you gents give me the green light, I'd like to get started on researching and eventually building my first rig. Nothing serious, just something to get acquainted with how these things behave in the air and I'll progress from that.
Thanks!
