It would work, be sure to get CW and CCW props, if you wanted your battery could be bigger.

With props it is good, I just think they might be big, since I mostly saw like 6030 not 1047 you know. But I solved CW and CCW already. And I thought bigger battery wouldnt be bad but they are way too heavy and more expensive so I will probablly stay with this one.

Thanks

You would never get off teh ground with 6'' props, for 1000kv motors you need 8''-10'' depending on the motor.
 
If you wanted to build a 250 sized quad for some faster flying, it would be cheaper for upkeep on props and everything.

Okay, thanks, and one more question, wont battery limit motors cause of low C?It can give up to 66A, will it be enough for those motors?

30*2.2 = 66 and 35*2.2 = 77 so :

35a constant
77a burst

The max current of the motors is 10a (which is pretty low for this size motor), 10*4 = 40a, so you are well within your battery's capabilities.

Just one battery? So basically you'll jump thru all the hoops to fly and get to do it for ~10 minutes? And if something happens to that ONE battery you'll be grounded for weeks waiting for a replacement?
 
Oh, cool, that seems good. And just for sure, wouldnt it be better to buy faster motors?I can get 1400kv or 2700kv for same price as 1000kv ones (2700kv is too much, I know, just to make sure). Those 1400kv ones have current up to 18A with 1047 prop, and can lift up to 775g, what is not really bad too..?

Yeah, for the start im going to use just one, and will find out how heavy battery it can lift without any problem, to know how heavy (means how much mAh the battery can have) can I buy, if I will have more money for it, I am sure I wont be changing only one battery at all...

Lower KV motors lift more and are more efficient. Higher KV motors are for smaller frames and props, generally pull faster.

So it wont lift more if I buy 1400kv instead of 1000kv right?It just makes no sense to me since it is faster, and with the same prop it will turn faster and get more thrust, isnt this true?

It will, but you have less torque, if the motors can handle the props without burning out then yes, but it will kill your flight times.
 
Oh, okay, I will Stay with 1000kv ones. Thanks, and one more question, what is difference between cheap ESCs with UBEC (30A SimonK) from ebay, and some few times more expensive ESCs with UBEC with same specifications?Will those cheap burn or handle less current or what?

Quality, the cheaper ones are more likely to fail when closer to specs, and sometimes are over rated on their spec sheet.

So you dont reccomend buying those cheap ESCs?

Depends which ones, and what type of flying you are doing, I'd always suggest getting the best you can afford when talking about your anything on propulsion systems.
