Hello,
I'm completing my second build for a SJX4 and I realized that the motors I bought(MN4014-11) are too underpowered for the AUW I'm planning to fly. Here's the break down:
That's the total weight without motors,props, ESCs and power distribution. With U5 motors and 16X5.5, 2 6S 5000mah eCalc predicts the AUW to be around 11500 grams and hovering at 51% throttle. Do you guys think this is a good combination? I plan to use APC multirotor props or even invest in a set of the T-Motor 16" CF props. I would go for U7s or KW12s but they are out of stock indefenitely and I hear they won't be in stock until end of next month...I plan to purchase U7s in the future as an upgrade...for now I need this baby up in the air with my BMC4K Let me know what you guys think.
On a related note, I have 5 new pairs of MN4014-11's, still in their sealed boxes if any one is interested I'll be selling them for 750USD total(150 USD per pair vs 200 USD)...I can even throw brand new spare bearings and shafts to sweeten the deal. If interested please PM me.
