Hi everyone,
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.

deve essere tutto ancora assemblato, ho incontrato il primo problema nella configurazione della scheda di volo, al momento di configurarla il programma mi ha dato l'errore come da immagine allegata.
Essendo alle prime armi, chiedo aiuto a voi per poter portare a termine il mio progetto.
Grazie in anticipo.
mEGA PIRATE (ERRORE).pdf
Cold winter in Toronto, running under -20C for over a week now, ... my lipo's are in the cold room for 2 months now, on storage mode.
From 4 leftover ESC's, 4 second hand motors, eBay ~40$ APM clone, and Turnigy receiver; Today I built up a H frame copter.
The frame is all Home depot stuff (plywood and aluminium I profile). The fly test was done in bsmt. due the ice age.
Build no. 5
Frame: TBS
Motors: RCMC 3407 750KV
Esc: RCMC 30HV SimonK ESC
Arms: 4x Multicopterbuilders Arm extensions
Rx/Tx: DragonLink V2- HiTec Aurora 9
Fc: 3DR PixHawk
GPS: 3DR
Props: HQ 11X4.5
Bat. : Turnigy 5000 Mah hard case
Arming : Polulu arming circuit with 3DR button
All screws are aircraft aluminum.
Weight at 1138 grams
Flight time 20.27 min
I have since this flight shaved off another 53 grams by removing the CF landing struts and putting on the TBS anodized post and added 11X3.8 props. FPV will be added next week. I built this rig last year with a Naza V2, put in RTL after two flight and had to ditch it in S.F. bay due to fly away-total lose.

Anybody in South NJ wanna do some FPV Racing?
Central NJ Here. Waiting on my QAV250 and then yes, very much would want to race.

Here is an update with my new foldable landing gear I designed and printed with my 3D printer for my DJI F550 frame.
I removed the Tarot gimbal in these pictures because now I am designing a better way to attach the gimbal (and I will print that with my 3D printer also)
And here is my Skyhunter. A joy to fly, and my favorite plane for FPV to date. Stable, efficient, and lots of room inside! My max range is just over 14 miles for now, but I'm aiming for 25 miles with some minor tweaks. With the 8000mah I can get about 55 minutes @ 35mph. With 2x5000mah I get about 75 minutes @ 35mph.
