Add maybe another 25grams for the mounting bay..... yes... yes.... this is most doable.


So, maybe allow about 3.25 oz for the full package, including padding and "sloppy construction"...

Here's the results:

For the Double-D, we get 1654'.

For the Triple-D, we get 2283'.

In all of the simulations, with and without the camera package, I've averaged about 600' higher with the Triple-D. That's a farily good difference for the difference in power of one D12 motor.

Yes, I think this is a do-able project. I may have to break down and order a camera package myself just for this.
