-started with fpv drone. researched abt analog fpv. looked at digital too but parts expensive so dropped it. decided to make 6s analog drone for better power and efficiency.
-decided on using geprc mark 4 5frame (carbon). looked strong and good layout. -picking speedy bee f405 v4 stack. includes fc + esc, supports 6s. liked the layout and price. -using ECO II 2207 1700kv motors. 4 of them. -picked happymodel ep1 for receiver (elrs). -props are 3 blade 5. generic.
-started spreadsheet for all parts and links here
-very stress. im also doing gemini, summer of making, jumpstart. might also do grounded with this.
