My first Quad with custom frame

Posted by Neil Smith on November 23, 2010 at 6:01am

Just finished building my first quad. I custom built the frame with 1/8" ply, 3/4" square alum tube, and a glad ware container. It hovers very nice and smooth. BP18A ESC's, BP2217-9 motors, 10x4.7 props, 2x 3s1p 2100mah packs, custom power distribution board.

    very nice job. I'm interested to know how 2 X 3S1P packs worked for you in relation to flight times. Where you running the motors well above half throttle to hover with the extra weight?

     

    thanks, Rich

    I had similar legs on my quad
    they broke because of flying just 3/4 of a complete loop ;)

    (bad crash...)

    Well done! The Gladware is a nice touch ;-)

    The legs look a bit long/springy to me. Have you tried shorting then to just an inch or so?
