Hello, I'm finishing my second cuad, a Tarot 650 :)
and I want to share with this comunity that help me a lot.
The objetives:
Build a more efficient cuad (than the first) that can fly minimun 15-20 mins carring a camera and using the knowledge that I learn from my first cuad to present, choosing parts, building and tunning on my own :) (but any help or suggestions are welcome )
Parts:
From what I choosed and what I was able to buy were little differences because we have many difficulties to import things to owr country and 3DR export problems when I bougth parts.
Frame: Tarot 650 with external motor mounts
controller: Ardufliyer 2.52 (perhaps Pixhawk next year ;) )
Motors: RcTimer HP4215 460kv
Esc: Opto 40A
Props: 15*65 CF Rc timer
GPS: Neo UBlock (pick a better one next year)
PModule 3DR, telemetry 915
Cheap Rx: waiting the Dragon Rx (I put one but fails :( )

(I move this discussion here because isn't my frame design, I think this is the correct place)
Some test with the new Props, yesterday no tune, today better, with some wind, FPV on and carrying a mobius, a little mission and flying FPV; 18-18.5 A, interesting result, I have to test now with higher winds.
What the hovering weight at 18A?
Why not try inverted motors down?
1.4 kgs without batteries. I prefer upside because y fly on farm fields and, sometimes, weeds, disturbs the props if they are lower.
What batteries do you use on this quad? What anti vibration you have for your fc?
I have two zippy compact 5.000 3s and two multistar 5200 3s too.
the fc is fixed with a doble sided silicone 3M tape.
Something like this but this photo is from another cuad.
this guy fly well on summer monitoring sunflowers and win new props a 17*5.5 ones and Amps down from 20 to 17 :), first test was this morning and I check with handheld Amp monitor, as quick as I can I'm going to check with all the battery charge to check flying time, my first objetive was 20 min (reached 25 min) , then 30 but now I dream with an hour, Forrest and his team culprit ;) ; or women record flying time with a Diy Drone LOL
Hola Cala buenisimo tu uav, vi que sos de Argentina...una consulta que tal son los quad Tarot? Siempre me maneje con la marca DJI y estoy intendo armar uno especialmente para uso en agricultura, tenes experiencia con cámara multiespectrales y demás?
Este frame esta muy bueno, le podes poner la controladora que quieras, yo lo tengo con APM, camara multiespectral solo tengo una "homemade"
Then, I change the 2.4 receiver for a Dragon one because I have many failsafes and I'm not agree to lost radio signal (It let me nervous) I have a ligther antenna to change but when I change, I crash taking off and return to that heavy one, then I discover the issue and have to try again, antenna wasn't the culprit
GPS is on the mast and RModem is backward but RM haven't good signal, I try whit a dipole but I think that I need to move like the VTX to have better range ¿any suggestion with it?
