First version of a miniquad to run a powerful setup. A lot of the designs have very soft arms, resulting in a poor P factor because the flame flexes too much (printed in ABS at least). Here is mine.
Best setup :
- Carbon fiber arms. ( I will upgrade the design when I get these)
- 4s battery
- 6045 props.
Features :
- Arms designed to break away in case of a crash
- GoPro protective cage
- No flex on the roll axis
- Very little to no flex on the tilt axis.
- Motors can easily be tilted for more speed.
- Battery on the bottom, for better stability / CG.
Using thick aluminium arms, AUW without battery and GoPro is 580g. Heavy right ? But stable hover at 38% throttle with a 4s 1800Mah.
Flight video very soon !
Update - 26/08/2015 :
- Had a little crash and the rear arm did break away, popping of a ziptie. Unfortunately the gopro cover also cracked.
