Hi,
This is my first build and I would really appreciate some help.
I have the following basic parts on order
FrSky X8R Receiver I'm a little unclear about what extra cables I will need to connect the motors to the pixhawk? I was hoping to find a simple diagram or video of someone else's build but there doesn't seem to be much around. I'm also a little unclear about how to connect the X8R into the pixhawk? I'm afraid that I'm a total novice at this so any advice would be amazing. |

I had a setup exactly like this and could not get the needed thrust out of the motors. It always ran about 80% thrust for stabil hover, no matter the battery, no matter the load. Changed the ESC to AFRO 30 AMP and some Turnigy 980kv motors. It is a beast now. Bat outa hell accelleration. Thrust at hover about 45%.
Ditch the ECS's and motors. You can not calibrate DJI ESC's.
Hope this helps.

Also I'm a little unclear about the battery connection? I assume I connect the connector directly to the f450 board?
Yes.
450 board a power distribution board too.
