Carbon fiber 15x5
Look at the numbers on the MT4008-18 vs the MN4012 (400kv), the 4008-18 wins hands down in its ability to operate very efficiently at about 800 kg of thrust while also having the ability to make higher amounts when needed. The bearing tool I make reduces the time to swap bearings to almost nothing. I"m flying the 4008-18 motors at the moment and they're doing fine so far. the MN4012 is nice too but the weight of larger motors kills the plan when I factor in that I'm at about 14 pounds flying weight the majority of the time.

Peter-my 2 cents-400kv should be fine your not lifting a heavy setup. i would go with something most efficient look at your auw then divide by number of motors find the thrust you need per motor then look at spec sheets- match voltage and prop size e calc is no longer free so if you don't wanna pay a small fee this is the way to it.. the kde's look good on paper but not much in the wild. people on cinestars have got good results on u5's efficiency wise. i guy has a lot of data on freefly forum with an octo u5 build may be of interest to you. the u5's gave killer flight times for him. at the same time you don't wanna over do it if your on dji flight controllers they seemed to not like to much power on reserve i believe it's called light disk loading.
