Aww Yeh, sexy new things....

let me know when its finnished so u can post it to me,,

Great stuff.

Those motors, with that battery. Careful not to throttle too hard or you might crash ...on the moon.

Here is the 270 robocat frame I`m using...




this is the F4

Ooo, new stuff, niceeeece....
You building some sort of robot drone army Mucky...

Like the all in one F4 FC, mmmmm, carbon fibre, I know nothing about these, but they do look rather nice...#scurries off to get info#

No toys for me today, so far anyway, eagerly awaiting postie... ;(

That F4 FC looks very nice, only need to attach a receiver and camera and you're good to go.  

It would be perfect for building a light 130 sized 3 inch micro quad.  Will get something like this when upgrading my 130.

Yes,is great space saver.

Some battery mounting pads
Some ant-vibration mounts
Some sma rp-sma adapters
Some longer ipx/sma cables
and a big fuckoff hole drill.

Ace, more goodies...


I've just been searching for a stepped drill bit this very morning, how bizarre, found one  on Amazon almost as cheap as BangGood (Can't be arsed waiting again)

Also, that CF CF battery cover plate, could you measure it for me mate, I'm after one that's 100m long, and about 40mm ish wide (off top of my head) to cover the base of my Nighthwak, to protect electronics. For now I'll use a CD slip cover, which will work temporarily.
I'll see if I can find one on BGood...

The eachine box goggles...
smaller than I thought they would be and very light.

Oh and...

Jay Finally. Looks good for the low price, complete with antennas, battery and charger, tested it already?

Hope you can get out soon to do some flying.

N1, thanks Mucky....

Went with the MR30 connectors for the motors / ESC`s.










And the good old Matek PDB mainly to power my LED`s ...pins to power flight controller circled.

Looking sweet.  

Have you fixed the hot motor problem yet? The screws that came with them might be too long. I used the ones that came with the Racerstars, they are little bit shorter, and I have motorprotection between the motors and frame. This also raises the motors a bit(about 1,5mm), but even then the original screws were too long.

About the build:
Maybe you could put the ESC's inside the frame, looks like there is space enough. I would certainly replace those copper standoffs with plastic ones. Is this not causing problems? I read on Banggood a warning with a flightcontroller, not to use metal standoffs or the board gets fried. Is it not better to attach the FC to the 5vBEC, instead of taking the 5v from the voltagealarm/lostbeeper contacts?

The servo lead runs from the PDB to the flight controller to be able to switch the
LED`s and buzzer using my taranis,seems pointless just using the signal wire and
cutting off the power wires and taking power from another place on the board when
it`s already there.

The "Brass" standoffs are just a personal thing,i like the look of them and they are
strong to hold the PDB at the vulnerable bottom of the quad,also I put plastic
washers on them to stop any voltage leakage or shorts.

Sadly the wires on both the motors and ESC`s are not quite long enough to fit inside
the body of the quad or I would certainly of put them in there,i think they are about
5 mm to short.

That's looking great matey, really neat job on connectors, heat wrap etc, gorgeous looking Emax white motors too, looking good...

Shame you couldn't have the ESCs inside I agree, but if they're too short you could possibly extend em, I know more hassle lol.

Also if you did extend em, use a smaller heat shrink wrap over the larger one (green one), which will grip the wires, again no big deal though but you'll have that opportunity if you extend em....

Looks really good dude.

Good job!

The pix make the heatshrink look all loose and baggy around the wires but it is actually gripping
them quite tightly,it does spoil the look though I must admit.

Eachine VTX03 Super Mini 5.8G 72CH 0/25mW/50mw/200mW Switchable FPV Transmitter arrived todayit`s
very small,here it is with the TX526 which is not much larger than a 10p coin

Whoa!

Can they get much smaller, teeny tiny sexy little thing....

That is indeed super mini.

Mine was send yesterday, will probably arrive next week.

This is the exact frame I got,arrived yesterday.
Geprc x230


pics to come later.

Very nice.   Got everything complete now to start the new build?

Yeh thats a nice looking frame, pretty sturdy too by the looks of it.
