Let's build a FPV drone: motors and electronics
My 250 class quadcopter project is slowly coming to a successful (hopefully) end. Finally had some time to assemble motors and ESC.
Since I wanted to have rather standard setup with 5x3 propellers, I had no super high demand on ESC, I've decided to use Turnigy Multistar 10A V2 ESC preflashed with BLHeli software available at Hobby King. Why them? Cheap, already flashed with BLHeli so no need to to flash at home and 10A is enough to drive 5x3 props. And it's also enough for 6x3. Just in case.
Motors are also Turnigy bought at Hobby King with 50% discount few months ago: Turnigy Multistar V2 2206 2150KV "Baby Beast". After discount they were super cheap: $7.5 apiece. And they are green, what goes nicely with carbon fiber ZMR250 frame.
Right now motors are not soldered directly to ESC, I've only removed 2mm bullet connectors from both motors and ESC. Waster on space. I'm still thinking about where to put those ESC, so for first few weeks there will be some extra cable between them. Later we will see.
