Lower Kv usually = bigger props, which gives you more thrust and flight time, but it will be less responsive that is why smaller ones are used for racing.

Ok first thing I noticed is on the frame you will want either a different frame or some legs to make it higher off the ground. Also you may want different motors those are a little big for your ESCs only because they are inefficient. Here is a combo motor-prop set. Here is a bigger battery...

Welcome to the forums, I would suggest getting bigger props, but I am using 9x4.7 on 1240kv motors to lift my flying brick, so you should be fine depending on what camera you want. Everything looks good at first glance,, I'll look through the parts to double check.

Haha, if nothing else there are open source programs that will do individual parts of what the Lilly does, like object tracking with a regular camera.

Haha, even if they don't sell quads, they will have gained off from it. :)

Those being Li-Ion should allow him to discharge past the Lipo limit a little, but how much?

There are remote locators made for quads, and some general purpose ones for other things like keys, kids, cars and wallets. Many people have GPS data on their OSD, so they just scroll back through their flight till they lost it, but yeah one like this would be a lot better. As for getting a...

I removed the link, it may open your account to a possible vulnerability. It displayed " The following critical errors have occurred. Sorry, you are neither the buyer nor the seller for this transaction. Only the buyer or the seller can access this page. " But transaction ID (not all that...

Haha, it may improve your search rankings for newbies, so not all bad :P

One thing to note is that you should get one for what your wanting to do, a 250 is about the same as a 350 or 400. If you want aggressive flying you may want a 250, if your more into photography then a bigger one would be better.

And it would be able to running into things. But I think it is a great idea, if we could just get our filthy paws on the source one could make one for a lo9t cheaper.

Haha, yeah the word drone gets the mutirotor community up in arms kind of like calling any black gun with a vented barrel an assault weapon. An outsider wanting more will look at and say "cool a drone", or "cool gun/scary assault weapon", at the same time it is the terms the media uses to turn...

It would be interesting ot make a modification to firmware to where it set the RTH point every minute or so. That way it would land on the water near you. Or maybe have a little RFID beacon on your boat and have it home in above that, ore even home in on that after it gets close enough...

May be able to set the fail-safe first on land, or pray you can find it if it lands on the water.

Ok, haha so your about 6h from me. I live in Southern Ohio, touching Kentucky.

Another thing to consider is that if you have a lot of weight in the centre and the legs throw weight to the arms the plastic could flex or break, there are many legs that bear their weight in the centre.

Yeah, you could make that work.

Where was that shot at? Looks a lot like Greenbo lake in Ky.

If your quad could handel increased capasity you could get higher amp draw. Your ESCs will have LVC so you will get less flight time out of those batteries; you will need to get a programming card and set the ESCs to NiMh. Also you will want to test amp draw and set max throttle value with...

OK, you may try a virtual machine IF it is not compadible with Windows 8.
