Here are some things to point you in the direction I think you want to go. One of my ongoing, never ending, projects is a roughly 700mm quad. I have most everything I need but I keep changing the frame design. Here is the "theory"about how this quad will (eventually) fly using these parts...

The boat idea is a scream! Not sure how you could control 2 things at once..... I guess land the quad and play with the boat or put the quad in GPS hold and let it hover, then play with the boat. Pretty cool.:D

Thanks for the compliment. Us old guys gotta stick together and I'm glad to help. There was one company I heard people talking about but I don't remember the name. Try starting a thread about where not to buy quad parts. That should get you some responses. Back to your project. Check out...

You can't use the Aerosky radio on another model. At least not easily

HaHa! They seem to be ok. I have only bought a couple parts from them and they were actually thru ebay. A lot of guys on the forum use them so they can't be too bad. Shipping seems to be the main complaint but that's true for all the China shops. Takes a lonnnng time to get here. Here is...

45-55% throttle for hover is a good guideline. It has nothing to do with acrobatics. It is a good balance of power and efficiency. Other than racers you usually only use 60-70% throttle to cruise and often times even less. If you can hover at 50% you have room for additional payload, better...

So. Did you order the Aerosky?:)

I do not use ecalc. I just wing it. I use the manufacturers specs as a guide to what will fly. 1.7-2kg will need bigger motors and props to hover at 50-55% throttle. Kinda blows the efficiency thing out of the water. Don't overthink it. Maybe compromise a bit on your payload?

Well. It made sense at the time. Unsure why ecalc didn't show an advantage. With the reduced weight and nearly twice the efficiency it should have come up roses. Sorry. That's all I got.:(

I hate to rain on your parade but it's a 450 and those are folding arms for transport.------- thttp://www.amazon.com/Quadcopter-Aluminum-Motor-CNC-Machined/dp/B00MRHFLA----- These mounts are an example of what I was talking...

Welcome to the club! We are all a little deranged or we wouldn't do this. Why not change the setting on the Aerosky gimbal to manual. Then you saved even more money. Gotta go. Grandkids stuff today. I'll check in later.

Ha! We did it again. That would work but why would you when you can simply turn the quad and view all around you. Plus the added weight.

The cool thing about the DJI F450 kit, unlike a RTF, is that you can take the components and use them on a different design quad later. Especially that one. The NAZA controller, for example, is one of the most versatile out there. It can run anything. You can add GPS, OSD, even autopilot. You...

It looks like the X350 is too new for very many reviews to show up. It looks like a Cheerson CX20 clone. Kind of like the Quanum Nova being a re-badged CX20. I dunno. Maybe wait for holtneil or perhaps Jackson has had some experience with Aerosky products. BTW. You do not want to mount your FPV...

Ha! looks like I sent you a post while you were. I just realized I jumbled all the links. Sorry. I'm gonna see if we can get holtneil involved in your Aerosky X350 question. He stays up on all the latest products out there. He's a Brit so we have a time difference. I will also see if I can find...

I grabbed the one without the battery and charger because I have enough of them. Don't need a wall wart charger
