Hello Friends!

We are students and we have just got our assignment to build some autonomic rc helicopter.
We noticed that this forum is a meeting place for great minds and experts, so here is our question:

We are searching for a rc helicopter which can fly for something like 60 minutes and can carry something like 5 lbs.
Any suggestions?

Please help us finding our heli

Thanks in advance

5lbs? thats a lot

what do you want the heli for, wouldnt be bombs eh

60 mins is also a long time would need loads of fuel and with the additional weight overall the heli will have to increase in size a LOT
for students you shouldnt have to make a heli that can fly for 60 mins maybe ask whoeva to reduse the time so the heli wont have to be so huge!

5 lbs isn't a problem, but 60 minutes, that's a long time. The Rmax mite do the trick, but you better have about $70,000.

LmAO 70,000 wow. Or you can buy a heli and have a seperate fuel tank on the ground with a really long fuel line so you always have fuel. Do you understand what i'm talking about?

Or on a similar thought...Electric heli with cable to power source on the ground? That said, the motor / ESC would need some SENIOR heat fins/cooling to keep them working for an hour without frying

Cheers
