Hello quadcopterforum, I'm glad to have found your site!
I am building a VTOL to Airfoil Flight converting aircraft as the description reads, and would like some help back checking my setup if you could help out!
I have lots of experience with gliders and small powered planes, but little experience building quadcopters.
In a nutshell, what I am building is a quadcopter with an airfoil body around it, and gimbaled(one axis) motors. The vehicle will take off and be able to maneuver like a quad, but will also be able to transition to forward flight by gimbaling these motors forward in midair.
People have done things like this before, I'm just trying out this build project for myself!
So
If I am expecting my frame weight to be 600g, and am planning to use NTM 800kv motors with 10" span propellers, will I be able to take off in quadmode? or will I stay sadly on the ground? My flight controller is a cc3d. besides that, the parameters are undecided.
what do you think?
