FPV 250 Quads

Hi Jack...it had some bullet connectors on it but i removed them so i could get the board to fit in the pocket of the frame.... i know it's not my best work but i'm going for durability

Hi Simon...can't wait to see the pictures!!

I wasn't being critical. It just didn't look like mechanical soldering and I wondered if it was sold with the buyer having to do some soldering?


Jack.

no worries ... if your only going to connect ESC to it you can get away with no soldering but if you want lights, voltage monitoring, fpv, ect you'll to break out the iron.

But there is tons of bare PCB to work with:

Here are my bits. Just need to work out what to do with them! I got the frame with the "low hung" accessory frame with vibration damping. So it'll be a little different than Greg's.

[battlestu]

well... test hover is complete and it's still in one piece


I still have some drift i need to tune out but i got some time before spring gets here.

What is this "Drift" your talking about?

Mine wont qualify for the 250 class but I too am building something that has multiple motors!

[battlestu]

Just needs a bit of trim.... I'd take it outside and fix it but Ill wait for better weather


Very cool Ed .... And feel free to add some more build photos

ImmersionRC is releasing the 250 Quad in RTF.  This comes with the vtx built-in.  All you need is the FatShark goggles.  Interesting to see is the special design EZUHF r/x for the QuadCopter.

very neat idea with the motors (just use your finger to set the rotation CW or CCW)

[sihinch]

That IS awesome.  Speaking of motor direction - which way are they meant to spin, on the 4 corners of the quad?

[battlestu]

i used the default setting on the KK2.1 controller

Guess i'll be joining you guys once flying season starts.


This is what i'm waiting for:

Very cool...be sure to post any build pictures when you can

Will do Greg.  I was wondering if you used connectors for the esc to motor or did you just solder the 2 wires together?

[battlestu]

No connectors for the power into the ESC (soldered the wires to the power board) but I did use the bullet connectors for the three phase outputs to the motors
