So here is my top speed quad which I will be testing out very soon.
Specs:
RCX 2208 2000KV motors
XMS30A ESCs
6" props, though I will try some 5" too to compare speeds. I have many different props to see which one translates to the fastest speed.
4S 1300mAh at the moment, but I will be using a 5S 1800mAh after initial flight tests.
The FC is running Cleanflight. I was going to use Betaflight, but they removed GPS functionality! I'm using a GPS and OSD to measure speed.
In the end, it turned out to be somewhat slapped together. I got a little too excited about a version 2 speed quad, so I'm treating this one as a test/proof of concept. The motor wires are way too long, normally I'd cut them shorter, but I figured for version 2 I might need them longer.
Here are some ideas for version 2:
The airfoil would extend across the whole carbon arm, and possibly even contain the ESC.
