First on the floor, nearly ready for maiden:
And here are pictures from the maiden flight:
It flys with the current alpha version of the software, so far no mods.
It is a combination of parts from different sources:
From MikroKopter came the frame and the propellers
From HK came motor and ESC
The boards came from Cool Components
The landing skid comes from a (broken) heli of a friend
.. and some home grown parts
What might be intgeresting to you is my wiring:
As I did not use a power distribution PCB, but used instead a standard
component available in the "OBI" and surely other home depot like shops.
Main advantage is that there is no soldering necessary, and an ESC could be changed
quite quickly if necessary.
... Now I need to hone my flying skills... ;)

Flying is possible for medium pilots ;) , but I'm sure it's possible to get the quad more stable.

The generic picture shows a 3 terminal connector. The part number is for a 5 terminal Wago 222 connector. They are very reliable connectors.
