Grown up quad
« on: December 27, 2013, 11:04:51 PM »
Christmas finally gave me my quads to play with, the "H" Quad is ready to go just need lots of stick time to get the KK2 board dialled in and then just fly that one until I know what I am doing and can then transfer the knowledge to the Spidex, here are a few photos of the build.

Before I started putting it together I traced all the parts so if need be I can replace anything that may get broken,

Thanks xxpitt, I was very happy with the video when I watched it that there was no jello spending a couple of minutes balancing the props paid off but the credit also has to go to MrBen for the H Quad build in the first place.

MrBen
When I get home I will take a photo of my highly technical mount and the cushioning material and add to the post.

I use two layers of this material under my GoPro it is about 1mm thick and you can get it with a self adhesive backing, I use it under my Rx as well.
