My first brushless quad. Modified UAVfutures $99 build, ended up being a bit more. Build was fun, got to learn about ESCs and blheli config a little.
I built the ugly pod just to hold everything for some test flights. Now I will design and print a cool pod canopy!
1/11 Test flew in the back yard and I can't believe the power from 3s and cheapo motors. It's so stable and smooth compared to my brushy micros. This is gonna be a lot of fun. I can't imagine what 4s and fancy motors would do.
1/13 - Just got back from my first HD Cam equipped flights. that 4th cell is probably just for the Gopro isn't it? Still feels awesome to fly. R-XSR just arrived as well. Time to start working on the body!
You should try to find a way to better protect your camera in case of a hard crash
I sure will. The carbon mess was just for test flights. Ziptied the cam on. I'm designing a custom pod.
