Sent you a couple Emails Jeff... Just wanted to make sure you were getting them alright
Hi Jeff,
Sad to see you selling this, it is a really great package and would have made a super copter.
Even if you just stuck a $30.00 KK V2 controller on it you would have a blast with it.
Of course you need LiPo and an RC transmitter and receiver too, but almost anything would work, a Spektrum DX5 or even a Tactic 6 channel.
In any case the price you are selling it for is a great bargain and if nobody else buys it before the 5th of next month I will (Mortgagee check).
In the meantime viewers - pay attention - you can't get more for less than this particular deal.
Just a suggestion those 4108 Turnigy motors will run happily on 4S or 6S but I guarantee you they are considerably more efficient on 4S.
I would strongly recommend that you just go with a bigger 4S battery than a 6S battery if you are seeking maximum endurance.
For maximum acrobatic performance 6S would be better, but flight time will suffer.
I would recommend the 4S 6600mah Hobbyking Multistar battery because they get about 20% more power per unit weight than the other batteries by maxing out at 10C continuous and 20C max.
And for this copter you won't even get close to that limit.
Good to know you can stuff 15" props on it, I just got my Talon V2 kit in the mail and I am very impressed with the quality of construction.
Very nice CF reinforced tubes and really lovely anodized aluminum castings for motor mounts and for inside frame mounts.
The aluminum is a touch on the heavy side, but worth it considering the quality of construction.
You really get your moneys worth with this kit.
To mount a camera (and brushless gimbal) you just need to add an appropriate set of landing gear to raise it up high enough.
If you use the setup recommended by Jeff with a 4S battery you will have plenty of power to be able to carry a camera and gimbal and the frame couldn't be better built to handle it.
I look forward to seeing your further experiences with this setup I will be doing very similar myself.
Best Regards,
Gary
Wait... 6s?... I know the DJI Phantom is 3s from the factory... Wouldn't that be an issue if I tried to use the flight controller with basically 2x the voltage? Unless I am getting it wrong here "6s" would mean 3.7v (per cell) * 6 = 22.2v correct?
Damn I really need a lesson in electronics... No one has ever been able to explain it. I always get pointed in directions of books or web-links... But I'm a very visual and hands on learner... Do you know of a video that does a great job at explaining electronics?
That's batteries not electronics. You need to feed the board whatever it needs normally stepped down from the main battery.
^^this guys videos are great. Flitetest also has some good videos but most of them are extremely nontechnical. The way my friend gets super long run times is getting the amp draw way down on the motors buy swinging big props very slow. Im obviously not a pro but he and a few other friends have contests who can stay in gps hold and hover for the longest. He has hit way over thirty minutes with his rig. I want to say he has done an hour. Im not sure what voltage or battery he has on that one. Ill post a video if I see him this weekend.
Awesome! I watched the video above this afternoon while I was at work and it seems pretty basic... I'll look up more of those videos online though... Seem like a good source of information!
Did you ever get some more pictures and measurements Jeff? I only got the one that came to my message box here on this site...
