Hi everyone,
I’m new to drone technology and currently working on a project where I need to design a drone capable of lifting a 1 KG payload. While I’ve explored websites like Robu.in, I’m struggling to identify the right components that meet my requirements.
Could someone please guide me with:
The necessary components (e.g., motors, ESCs, propellers, battery, frame, etc.)
Their specifications for lifting a 1 KG payload effectively
Approximate costs
Reliable sources or buyer details
Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance
Hi there!
If you want to lift a 1 KG payload, here is what you’ll need. First, get a sturdy and lightweight frame, ideally between 450mm and 550mm in size. You’ll also need brushless motors with an 800-1000 KV rating. For controlling the motors, buy 30A-40A Electronic Speed Controllers, one for each motor. Choose propellers that are 10-12 inches long to ensure good lift. A 3S or 4S LiPo battery with a capacity of 3000-5000mAh is essential too for high energy density and sufficient flight time.
For the flight controller, basic options like Pixhawk or APM work well. Also, pick a transmitter and receiver with at least 6 channels. Don’t forget other important parts like a power distribution board, wires, and connectors. The total cost will be around $200-$300, depending on the quality and brand you choose. You can find these items on websites like Robu.in, Banggood, or at local drone hobby shops. Good luck with your project!
