Author Topic: SOLD - For Sale - Hobbyking Scimitar 230 FPV miniquad (Read 306 times)

For sale is my very well put together and well specced out miniquad. The frame is the Hobbyking Scimitar which is a 230mm sized H-quad design with built in power distribution.

Included in the sale is:
Hobbyking Scimitar miniquad frame
4 x Sunnysky x2204s 2300kv motors (pretty much the best motors for a miniquad without getting overpriced T-Motors). 2 x CCW and 2 x CW rotating, this ensures that the shaft screw covers are always self tightening
4 x EMAX 12A ESCs flashed with SimonK multirotor firmware
3 blade 5x4.5 props all around, with spares
Naze32 Acro flight controller, preconfigured and setup for this frame
600TVL plastic cased Surveilzone FPV camera
3 x 1500mah 3S Nanotech LiPos
Mobius sized camera mount with 4 x vibration isolating bobbins (not currently fitted, you will need to drill 4 x holes in the top plate to fit this)

NOT INCLUDED -
FrSky rx
Mobius camera
5.8GHz VTX

If you're using 2.4GHz control for this with diversity antennas like I did, then let me know and I'll throw in the "V" jig I made for it.

The ESCs are directly soldered to the motors and suitably heatshrunk over, the ESCs are then also directly soldered to the frame's power distribution board. I have then covered the solder pads with liquid electrical tape which protects the bare metal from corrosion and moisture.

I have had 3 flights total with this quad, none ended in a crash.

I wasn't a fan of the miniquad "fad" but I was talked into building one myself to see what all the fuss was about. Now I've done so, I have a fully informed opinion of the craze and I personally don't feel comfortable with this kind of multirotor flying, I'm more into slow sedate landscape/photograpy gathering flying with my DJI Phantom and stabilised gimbal.

There is nothing wrong with this miniquad, in fact it's proper tidy and well built (even if I do say so myself), in total it's cost me a fair bit over £200 (not just the sum of the individual components, but additional workshop supplies, shipping, time and effort building it etc...)

I'm being realistic and fair by asking for £200 posted in the UK, although the frame is cheap, the components are up there with the best and the workmanship is worth the money. I've built and sold multirotors to forum members in the past who can vouch for my abilities and attention to detail with everything I build.

If this doesn't sell in 1 week, I'll put it on ebay as I need the cash before 13th Jan.

Thanks for looking.
