Flight Controllers and Larger Quads

Post by Derek »

I'm just wondering if our mini quad flight controllers would work on larger quads, for example 1000mm "X" frame. Or would it be better to invest in something more expensive like the Eagle Tree Vector or Naza?

I can't see why not, I would be inclined to use the full Naze rather than the acro though.
Then all you need is a GPS and the right firmware for full auto features like RTH etc.

Dude....my brain is always running and rarely shuts up. I've been thinking of building a large quad (unsure of the measurements right now, lol) but it would be something with 15" props. I was thinking about using the Eagle Tree Vector setup because it comes with OSD, GPS, and many other bells and whistles. The Vector is about $240 new. I know of several people, personally, that use the Vector in planes and wings and they absolutely love the unit. I dunno....this may just be one of those thoughts that I have and let go of....maybe, lol.
