Hi, Currently working on a Uni project that requires me to get a scaled down version of a quad that we have in our department (~900mm). I really want it to be as small as possible so I was looking at the 250mm frames that most people use for FPV, I will not be required to do any FPV but may have a camera installed at one point or another. I see that most of the 250mm frames have a 55x55mm Controller cage, with the Pixhawk being 50 x 81.5mm this will obviously not fit. Was just wondering if anyone had done a setup with a Pixhawk in any of these sized frames? And if it won't fit in a the controller cage would I be able to fit it in the main cage below the main body? If not could anyone recommend a small as possible frame that I could fit not only a Pixhawk on but also a Pi/telemetry/GPS etc (<400mm if possible). I know this is a lot to ask from such small frames but any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jamie |

its basically the same as the full size minus the outputs for relays etc.. its 38x38x30 fits in a 250 fine.. make sure to use foam or make up some sort of dampining from vibrations..
