Sourcing the components and obtaining specifications

I need to build a careful specifications chart for this one, as flight has some rather tight requirements. Weight is of primary consideration and overrides all others to a large extent.

Echo Dot 2nd Gen

Width: 84mm
Depth: 84mm
Height: 32mm
Weight: 163 grams

Naze Hardware

Width: 36mm
Depth: 36mm
Height: ?
Weight: 7.3 grams

Raspberry Pi Zero

Width: 65mm
Depth: 31mm
Height: 12mm
Weight: 8.5 grams

Raspberry Pi Camera

Width: 25mm
Depth: 25mm
Height: 9mm
Weight: Estimated 3 grams

Turbines

Width: ?
Depth: ?
Height: ?
Weight: ?

Motors 1806 2300kv 2-3S / 2-4S

Width: 23mm
Depth: 23mm
Height: 26.4mm
Weight: 18 x 4 = 82 grams

Thrust: 460 grams

ESCs BLHeli 20A

Width: 42mm
Depth: 20mm
Height: 8mm
Weight: 11 x 4 = 44 grams

Batteries Floureon 3S 2200mAh 11.1v

Width: 106
Depth: 25
Height: 33
Weight: 175 x 2 = 350 grams

Voltage: 11.1v
Discharge: 25C

Shell Depron / Polycarbonate

Width: ?
Depth: ?
Height: ?
Weight: Estimated 20 - 30 grams


Total Weight: 687.8 grams

Total Thrust:  1840 grams

Thrust-To-Weight Ratio: 2.675 (Assuming Single Standard Prop)

Hover Throttle: 36% (Assuming Single Standard Prop)


According to Ken.do

Weight of frame, dot, pi, cam assumed to be 250g or less.

All-up-weight of about 630g (includes everything)

Motors - DYS 1806-2300kv

Battery - 3s 2200mah

Escs - 20A

Frame - 250mm

With this setup, flight time is about 10 min. This is fine depending on usage desired. Performance will be acro worthy.

I think that about covers it. All I have to do now then, is increase the efficiency of the turbines and try to make them quieter. A slower-running motor and more lifting surface, and the ducting will help with this.
