Thanks for all the advice for this project of mine guys. Another question, with the F550 I do NOT need a power distribution board right?? Am I missing anything I still need to order? Please confirm someone..
I ordered:
NAZA+GPS
30A OPTO ESCx6
many props
2814Q motors x6
F550 frame with spare arms
Missing anything besides battery pack?
Here are the ecalc I came up with for using 5800mah batteries, seems perfect since you guys say you want to hover around 50% throttle, or am I missing something?
My weights are:
Frame - 480g
2814 motors - 660g
NAZA+GPS - 70g
5800mah battery - 560g
ESC - ? just threw in a few extra grams for them
Still up in the air about the battery pack..
I want really long flights for FPV so i was even considering 2x 3500mah batteries. According to eCalc, if I used 2 packs in parallel instead of just 1 pack, the drain on my batteries would be cut in half and I could use 20c packs instead of just one 30c. This is correct?
