Re: Need help choosing motor/esc combo.

Thanks, i ended up going for the HobbyWing Skywalker 20a esc and the DT700 700kv motor from hobbyking. Got some 11x4.7 props to go along with it.
I have a 2650mah 3s batt on order as well.

Re: My Balsa Wood Frame

After a quick calculation or two, i determined that my flight weight will be close to your 1300g.

I am using 700kv motors (DT700 hextronik) and 11x4.7 props. with 20a hobbywing escs.

All my parts are on the way now, but my hobbyking shipment is delayed due to the backordered turnigy 9x :(

Need help choosing motor/esc combo.

Sorry, huge newbie here. I have everything but the motor and esc for my quad that i am building from scratch.

Has anyone used these cheap HK ESCs?

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor ... oduct=6460

For six bucks apiece, these seem too good to be true. Does anyone have confirmation that these are good quality?
Also, for a budget Qcopter, should i splurge and spend 10-15 apiece and get some turnigy escs or are these fine?

Clone Wii Sensors, or original?

Is it recommended to go for the Wii clones for a lower price, or to opt for the original wii components? Are there any known, reliable Wii MP clones available. (my first time working with these, so it would be nice if it matched up with the instructions exactly.) EDIT: Also, Is it preferred to use o...

Is it possible to use an arduino uno with multiwii?

I currently have an Uno, and was wondering if i could use it to control my qcopter with the multiwii platform. if so, what would the pinout be like. Would it be the exact same numbers as the pro mini?
