Team-blacksheep have very nice frame for DJI-NAZA with some fancy PDB, but I don't have NAZA and I wanted some modification to mount APM2/2.5, so here is my version of that frame, no fancy PDB and PCBs, just black fiberglass :)
If you do have DJI NAZA go get that frame right NOW !
APM2.0 with 90° pins fits under the top plate with analog and telemetry pins exposed.
APM2.5 with ublox GPS.
Set the LED_MODE parameter to 9, It will slow blink when disarmed, solid armed, fast blink + beep on low battery.
The CG and the APM location moved a little bit, but it can fly as regular X quad. (don't pull back too much)
I just changed the AP_MotorsQuad.cpp X frame set-up to:
add_motor(AP_MOTORS_MOT_1, 55, AP_MOTORS_MATRIX_MOTOR_CCW, AP_MOTORS_MOT_2, 1);
add_motor(AP_MOTORS_MOT_2, -125, AP_MOTORS_MATRIX_MOTOR_CCW, AP_MOTORS_MOT_1, 3);
add_motor(AP_MOTORS_MOT_3, -55, AP_MOTORS_MATRIX_MOTOR_CW, AP_MOTORS_MOT_4, 4);
add_motor(AP_MOTORS_MOT_4, 125, AP_MOTORS_MATRIX_MOTOR_CW, AP_MOTORS_MOT_3, 2);
Setup
Motors: Tiger MS2212-13 980KV
ESC: jDrones 18A (Flashed with SimonK FW)
I really like the 10X5 Graupner e-props (or new Carbon 10X5 e-props) with 4S 3000mah lipo, after some fine-tuning its very sharp fly.
Here some raw clips from Arducopter 2.8.1 tuning flights:
BTW Jani from jDrones (that where I CNC all my custom frames ;) ) has put together fancy RTF kit, so check that one out.
EDIT:
The top outside hols for the arms are ~0.5mm off, I think so chek it before cuting.
Comments
Anyone with spare arms able to check if the holes are correct on the original dxf?
@Yves, you got a message/friend request
This can be considered.
I´m not shure if the holes are 0.5mm off - great if someone have the time to check it.
+ in my Version of the dxf file I have altered the holes for the Controller so I can use my quanton Controller. If someone plan to use APM 2.5 the dxf file must be modified (copy the APM holes from the original dxf file)
Yves, are you willing to cut a glassfiber frame for me? I'm looking for the centerplates that Oyvind made with the holes for an APM (original dxf). We are neighbours ;-) (Holland)
Is this still true with the current dxf?

I have a machine at home, but a home made for the hobby. (teamcnc.be) For carbon, we must be careful to dust.
Are you satisfied with the 1.5 mm? Carbon or epoxy?
I´m using 1,5mm on mine.
Here is the latest mod where I´m going to test using 190mm tubes in front and 260mm rear + changed the angle on the rear tubes.
The test props are 10"
And do you guys know a place to CNC it? jdrones does not respond, but maybe its still labour day.
As soon as I finished I will share it, of course.
I built with 2mm
