Here is what I'm looking at:

http://www.foxtechfpv.com/fhocto800-full-carbon-octo-frame-p-843.html

I'll be using the recommended configuration at the bottom of the page:

<address>Suggested combo:</address><address>motor: Sunnysky 2814 kv700x8 http://www.foxtechfpv.com/sunnysky-281411-kv-700-motor-p-382.html</address><address>Propeller: CF 1238 CW/CCW x4 http://www.foxtechfpv.com/1238-carbon-fiber-propeller-cwccw-p-446.html</address><address>ESC: Hobbywing 30A flyfun ESC X8 http://www.foxtechfpv.com/hobbywing-30a-esc-p-440.html</address><address> or Hobbywing 40A platinum ESC X8 http://www.foxtechfpv.com/hobbywing-platinum-40a-pro-esc-p-379.html</address><address>Controller: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/djiwkm-multirotor-controller-with-power-module-p-362.html</address><address>Propller:12inches(max)</address><address>Battery : Foxtech 3-4S lipo, 5000-10000mah:http://www.foxtechfpv.com/foxtech-hidischarge-lipo-batter-c-137.html</address><address>The max fly weight of this setup is 15kg for 4S lipo in theroy, but normally make it below 10kg for long flight time and safety.



There is a video at the top of the page that shows this combination lifting 4kg. I'm just hoping to lift a Zenmuse with it. Probably be running 10,000mah on 4S lipo.
What do guys think about this? Motors seem small, but the specs say they can lift a ton - specifically about 6400g at 50% throttle. My AUW should be around 7000 grams.

Any idea what flight times might be? I can't figure out how to put this into ecalc.

Thanks!

Tom
