G+_Brad Rowe Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hi I'm looking at building a 230 millimetre quadcopter. I'm not sure what kind of motors to use I'd like it to be pretty easy to control but fast and this is my first build by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Brad Rowe Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thank you +Fr. Robert Ball ever, SJ? you are the 1# podcaster in the world. Love the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks for the encouragement! -- Much appreciated. I wouldn't call myself the #1 podcaster in the WORLD... but I'm definitely the #1 podcaster living on the 3rd floor of a Jesuit house in San Francisco... weighing more than 200lbs... (But maybe not.) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'd have a hard time calling you #1 - you've got some pretty tough competition with Steve Gibson? and that Leo Laporte? guy is pretty good too. This is the only one I watch on video though - for what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 For this particular 230 class, I would suggest getting a 3S 2200mAh 20-25C (~$13) for training. --- When you're ready to race, get a 4s 1000mAh 25-35C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
