On future official full DIY Kit release we have been planning to include BL2830 style 850 - 1050kv motors and 18-20Amp ESC's and are currently testing different combinations for htose.
I use that same zippy battery on my quads and also my hexas and on my test ArduCopter I use their 3S 2200 Batts..
Me too... Jani, any suggestions on motors and esc? I got these and I guess they can be used as start?
TURNIGY Plush 30amp Speed Controller
Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv 23A Outrunner
what about this battery good enough to power the quad + sony bloggie and all electronics?
ZIPPY Flightmax 4400mAh 3S1P 15C
Yes due high demand, I have placed small limited run of beta frames available as DIY Asian distributor site called www.PhiFUN.com. There are still few frames left. We estimate that shipping will start at next week.
I think so Tony, that is why it is called preorder( advance booking/reservation etc). unless Jani means some thing else. Jani can you pls confirm that we can preorder it. Tony, pls Give us your feed back once you have it. Thanks
@Morli, hehe Agatha Christie ehem I ment ArduCopter Team. And it's wonderfull to know that I will have first full frame on my hands soon.. Should I post pictures.. well we shall see that :P
@Kevin, frame is mainly made of Aluminum, FiberGlass and PolyCarbonate. There are also Nylon/metal/PolyCarbonate screw/spacers and nuts. Most of material is some type of composite material. Landing gear is made from 3mm PC, on final version it might be 5mm. We shall see it.. Even 3mm is rather strong and take some hard landings before breaking, those screws usually break first and they also work as a impact fuses to main body.
Hi! Newbie here. I have been lurking the site for a few months and am very excited for arducopter. This frame design looks fantastic. It's great to see it coming along from the 3d renders a few weeks back. What material are the landing pads?
Hi Jani , this/you are turning into sort of serial killer by publishing a short episodes of thrilling development :)). The frame looks very good even in in-complete state. Looking forward eagerly to see the complete frame( apologies for adding to pressure you/team already are in)
