    Hello everyone.

    For a project i have an RRPFV Pizza being built i want to test with a specific payload. This will eventually need to be NDAA Compliant which means i will need to switch out some parts but instead of getting all TBS NDAA FC ESC GPS and VTX and I'm wondering if this would be possible with ModalAI components. And getting some form of GPS Denied AI NAV incorporated which would be an awesome end state goal.

    Thank for any input.

        @bambamoda What you're trying to build sounds a lot like a bigger version of our stinger fpv drone: https://docs.modalai.com/stinger-vision-datasheet/

          @tom basically yes, one that can carry a larger payload up to 10 LBS that can fly in tighter spaces than like payload drones and doesn’t have open props. Drones like the C100 and R80D fail to meet requirements and are too low performance. I don’t see any FCs that can run 8 motors. Do you know if ModalAI has anything like this in the works? Thank you

            @bambamoda We haven't run more than 4 motors. It's theoretically possible to do so with dual ESCs but would take some software work

              @bambamoda Are you asking about flight controllers (FC) that can do 8 motors or ESCs that can do 8 motors?

                @Eric-Katzfey Given the amperage id need to stay with the 8x APD120F3 +2+PDB500s. So just FC. Also a vtx that can do thermal and day site would be great.

                  @bambamoda The VOXL 2 can support 8 PWM outputs with this add-on board: https://www.modalai.com/products/voxl2-io?variant=40610514206771.

                    @Eric-Katzfey interesting, think you for this information. Once i demo this drone for a couple weeks in its current BNF w/ ndaa add ons configuration I will be looking to move to a smart system and incorporating optical hold and other gps denied search features.
