Good morning all! This is my first post here so if I break any protocols I apologize in advance.
My team and I are building a very basic drone (x-frame style quadcopter) for our UAV class (no camera or FPV) and need some guidance into selecting the electrical equipment (motors, esc's, flight controllers, batteries, etc.) and were hoping for some recommendations and guidance. We are looking to keep this project relatively cheap and basic, as we are just showing that we can build a function quadcopter.
Our frame must be custom built and not purchased, so we are machining ours out of aluminum using a CNC. I have attached the frame diagram below. The frame weight is roughly 1.3kg with the size being 24" from motor mount to motor mount.
The transmitter assigned to us is a Flysky FS-16.
Thank you in advance!
