Design Considerations

Design objectives


  1. Long flight time (>10 minutes)
    • High capacity battery
    • Weight reduction
    • High efficiency motors and electronics
  2. Easy to fix after a crash
    • 3D printed airframe
    • Low cost replacement parts
  3. Cost for Quad parts ~300
    • Reduce costs where possible without negatively affecting overall performance
  4. Mid range performance
    • Don't buy the cheapest, don't buy the most expensive, buy smart. Back up choices with numbers.
These are what will help guide my component selection process going forward. The following posts will detail the process used for each selection.
