so I've finished my chassis and have decided on the electronics for my build according to ecalc it should work however I was hoping some of you could give me your opinion ?
chassis weight 300g
propeller :size 6"
motors x4 : Multistar V spec 22205 2350KV 420w

ESC x4: Turnigy multistar 32bit 20A race spec 2~6s (opto)

receiver: comes with mode 2 controller hobby king 4 channel 2.4ghz Tx Rx v2

battery: multistar racer series 1600mah 3S 40c lipo pack

flight board: Matek PDB-XPW w current sensor 140A and BEC (5v and 12v)

in case your interested ill post a picture of my chassis here somewhere. Also I was wondering if ecalc add the weight of the parts themselves as you chose them as I entered in the weight of my chassis (300g). But I didn't include the weight of all my parts which in total is 700g approximately.
again any help at all would be much appreciated I think this will work but as it is my first time attempting to build a drone your feed back would be invaluable.
