CS8 & WKM Setup Advice

[redridinghood]

RedRidinghood,

Can you remind me of your setup please. I currently have a CS8, Plettenberg motors, etc but i want to go bigger - i need to lift a payload of 8kg, that is without batteries. I would like a min of 15min runtime so i reckon 4kg of battery.

Skyjib 8 (New center section moded for 3 boom clamps all around)
Orbit 15-20 with integrated prop adapter
Castle Phoenix Ice 50
360 V2 AV200
Picloc 3x Pro
Retracts
Iftron stinger 5.8ghz
JXF 14x4 wood props
Spektrum DX8 plus full telemetry ( waiting for OSRC release)
Not using Wkm anymore. My YS-X6 is incompatible with Castle ESC. Hopefully Autoquad 6 will perform better.

The setup you are looking for sounds feasible with a similar setup to mine. Maybe some beafier motors with 15x5 props on 5S will do the trick.

will the skyjib take a 15inch prop in standard form?

No, you need the 54 cm booms. Not sure if the new versions come with the longer booms or the 50 cm mine came with.
