At the moment I don't really know how this will work out, but in theory the parts should fit together and not damage each other.
I also bought some random other stuff, not in the table, like double sided foam tape, some extra XT60 connectors, some 2mm bananna connectors and the like.
All up total cost was about $620AUD assuming a rate about 1.37AU Peso to $1USD for the Hobby King stuff.
That includes 5-8 day shipping.
I still need to buy a soldering iron, solder and probably assorted hardware and expendables, for which I am guessing about another $100.
That's the cost.
What it should deliver is a drone without a camera FPV or otherwise, with a inexpensive but decent radio (it's been tested to over 2KM in rural New Zealand) and a decent powertrain.
According to the manufacturers published data tables the motors should each give me about 825g of thrust with the 3 bladed 5045 props or about 770g with the 5045 2 blade props. Thats around 3300g and 3080g respectively.
The drone will weight about 442g without tape, wires, zipties and the like, so let's factor in 100gms for those (which I think is a gross over estimate) aad say it's a 540g drone, it should have a power to rate ratio of somewhere around the 6-6.5 to 1 range.
We can knock 100g off that buy using a smaller battery, so we should be able to get something like 7.5 to 1 power to weight on a really good day.
Now I just need to learn to solder, build a drone and work out how to fly it.
