Is My Built For Tarot Ironman 650 okay?
Hello all,
This semester we try to build autonomous quadcopter for delivery, our aim is carrying 1 kg load.We don’t have much experiences about quadcopters. For our design we selected
Frame :Tarot Ironman 650,
Motors: Sunnysky X4110S 400kv
Propellers: APC 14×4.7
ESC: 30 A Simonk ESC
Battery:3S 6000-8000 mah
Flight controller: pixhawk or nasa
We will probably use rasperi pi and camera for self landing(For pattern recognition ).Our final weight with 1kg load is approximately 4/4.5 kg.Are our choices for drone parts okay? Also which flight controller do you recommend for us?
Thank you for answers.
Hi, I think you are on the right track- Remember that a good rule of thumb is to engineer the quad so you have 4x the weight in thrust. So if your quad with full load weighs 1.5KG, then you want 6kg of thurst for a good flying & maneuverable quad.
For instance,
this motor outputs about 2030g at 14.8 (4S) voltage with a 16×5.4 prop. So, 4 motors will output 8 kg of thurst- which would be a great choice.
We are having a massive sale on low-kv motors- you might find something better than sunnysky in our motors area, and we can offer an Edu discount if this is for a student project and will be purchased by your school.

I think @AlexGrand can weigh in on the Rpi and computer vision- along with flight controller recommended as he is the resident expert on the subject.
Let me know if that helps to answer your questions!
