Hi all,
Thanks to this great forum, I've been able to get a lot of additional information about modifying and upgrading multi-rotors. Like many I started out with the DJI Phantom and have since graduated to an upgraded f550 and TBS Disco Pro. I don't have too many uses for the Phantom except as a trainer for short range FPV. The Phantom has served me very well and I've been able to use it for a couple of AP jobs. At this point the plastic frame has seen better days and is starting to show its limitations with batteries, flight time, and expandability.
My question to the forum is what would be a good recommendation for an aftermarket frame?
Here's what I can reuse:
-Naza M
-T-Motor 2214 920kv
-FPV Tx
-Futaba Rx
-DJI Compass/GPS
-I have an assortment of 8", 9", and 10" props
-Would be open to 3s or 4s power setup, I've got plenty of batteries in various sizes.
With that information in mind, I have these goals:
1. 10-12m flight times (hopefully actual flying time and not just hovering)
2. Good mounting options for FPV camera/Tx and or OSD, would not need to carry gimbal.
3. Portability - similar physical footprint as Phantom but no larger than TBS Disco. Ability to fit into hard case with 19"x14" interior dimensions.
Thanks in advance for any insight!!
