Finally getting around to doing my quad copter! I am going down a slightly different route to most, but more on that later. I have watched loads of vids and tutorials but I still have a few questions.
I am probably going to make the frame from a couple of broken fishing rods made from carbon fiber, I have it to hand it strong and light.
Are the little vibration motors powerful enough for use with a small quad copter?
I would like to use mobile phone batteries in parallel to power the motors, are these a good choice or are there better ways weight for weight?
If I get a load of solar cells that you solder yourself, is it worth covering the thing in them to help charge the batteries? or are they a waste of time and energy considering the extra weight.
What motors would you use? and why?
Sorry for the question's but about the only thing I am fixed on using at the moment is the frame, and the transceiver which will be incorporated into a micro and run at around 868 MHz, I have some boards for this chip and its great for building a custom remote control unit!
Thanks for any help
