Share your drone info thread
Hi everyone,
With the encouragement from Ellison in Rants and Raves thread, I'm creating this thread to share your drone/copter information. I believe, this would help immensely for newbies like me during the initial build. For example, the Chris's blog on cheap Hobby King quad configuration is really a good resource.
I don't want to burden anyone who is willing to share their info. Hence all fields are optional. Atleast the first 5 fields are ideal. Please find the list of fields to copy/paste at the end, so you can start filling :-).
Here goes information about my quad.

Ruwan, not doing FPV yet but was going to be my next step.
I was thinking to buy Fatshark 922 Headset to add to my video receiver.
Anybody has feedback on them?

Nice Hexa, However, I have one question.
How do you make sure the APM1 stay in the same place? I feel like it could move up and down with respect to the frame. I know the friction would keep it in place, but just wondering..
regards,
Ruwan.

I am actually trying to investigate whether it moves or not(and causes significant problems). So far it has been pretty good. It hasn't moved and is not seeing much effect of the motor vibrations.
I may have to figure out a new way to mount the APM1 if it becomes a problem. I am looking at using some sort of rubber or silicone mount instead of the o-rings. Just haven't figured out how I would do it yet.
