Elev8-V2 upgrades
After having three motors and four esc's go bad then the hoverfly open, I decided to look for upgrades that didn't require modifications to the air frame.
For the flight controller I decided on the Naze32. Why? Because all most every one in the UAV/drone groups I'm a part of use those in just about any thing that flys.

The motor was kind of a pain to find because I didn't want to make any changes. I got lucky one day while at a local hobby store that had a selection of similar sized motors that we measured and found the following that used the same screw spacing and size. The nice thing about these motors are they come with long wires. They are long enough to reach the esc's without having to make extensions.

These are isolated esc's, which means you need a separate BEC to power your flight controller and other electronics.

A generic BEC that I don't remember the make but it was a 5 volt 3 amp.
I ended up getting all the parts from the local hobby store.
