Choosing Quadcopter Motors and Props

Choosing a Quadcopter Motor and Prop When building a quadcopter, deciding which motors and propellers to buy is tricky, but a very important decision. There is a lot of math and science that goes into understanding how the motors and propellers effect how a quadcopter flies or if it flies. As a novice, it is very easy to be overwhelmed by all of it. The correct motor/prop combination needs to be chosen by considering the size and weight of the quadcopter, the length of flying time and the power and agility that are desired. How to Decide? The way I see it, there are two different ways to go about making this important decision. Research what other experienced pilots use and buy the same or similar equipment. Now here’s more on each approach.. Who are some great pilots and what are they using? I am interested in First Person Video flying (FPV) and two of the best FPV pilots are juz who flies quadcopters and David Windestål who mostly flies trciopters.
