Need to build hexacopter

[RcHexy1991]

I need to build a hexacopter that can lift 1.5 kg. I saw one on hobby king that is the aperture hexacpoter. It has 6 4114-400 kv motors on it. I'm thinking about buying a dji flamewheel f550 hexapoter and installing 4114-400 kv motors to save on money and weight. Please help me in understanding if this is possible and if I do install 4114-400 kv motors what props and other electronics do I need? Keep in mind I need this hexacopter to lift 1.5 kg and hover for with this weight for 5-10 mins. Thanks!

I would not recommend installing that large of a motor on the 550 frame. I think the props would be too large,

Have you looked at the Tarot 680, the tarot x6, or the Dji s900? I think you would be better off with one of those frames.

What is your budget?

Thanks! I'm doing this for my senior design project for college. I wanna save as much as I can but I don't exactly have a number for my budget. I just need to design a hexacopter that can lift 1.5 kg and move it around

My budget is around $1000

Something like this might work.

Here is a calculator that will help during the design.
