OK so i got the frame parts and assembled it all...
APM and power distribution board:
the flat rainbow wire (black white gray purple blue) is from the power board, it carries GND, Left, Right, Front, Back.
i just used my own wire to have greater length and flexibility. i wanted the GND too because i will power the electronics with another BEC, not from one of the 4 ESC.
Motors mounted:
In the process of tidying the ESC wiring:
GPS mounted:
And finally the whole thing:
I'm still waiting for a few parts to arrive,
especially the radios, the video TX\RX as well,
and lots of parts for the DSLR camera mount i will just start to build.
soon on the way also - 2 more motors and ESC for the upgrade to a custom HEXA frame, on which the DSLR will be mounted on.
so the next post will probably be the camera mount building,
or maybe the first flight if i get the radio sooner than expected :-)
keep following !

could you explain ? is it about them disconnecting ?
indeed i plan on directly soldering the wires, but as i'm going to change from quad to Hexa, i've still kept everything.
after i fly the quad a few times i will build the hexa frame for the heavy payload. then i'll solder everything
Nice! cant wait to order mine... soon... really soon...
Are you going to paint the arms to know what is front facing?
