Re: Help with Quad Build Hi. It looks like you chose well on all your parts . For one of my quads I used the 2.7 APM http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...hz_XT_60_.html with GPS and Telemetry and voltage monitor . The price was good and everything worked together . Your radio is a good starter radio , but you might want to consider this radio made by the same people http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...y_Mode_2_.html Then you could have telemetry on it and 10 channels for about the same amount of money .

This is the way im going F550 Flamewheel Dji 2212 920 kv motors DYS Simonk 30A Speed Controllers 1045 props 2x Multistar high capacity 3s 5200 mah lipo batteries IMAX B6-AC Charger/Discharger 1-6 Cells (GENUINE) Flysky FS-TH9X-B Radio and receiver. APM 2.6 flight controller w/gps. (Theres a 2.8 version out. I may purchase that) My total cost is $568.46 Canadian. Thats for everything i need to fly except a spare motor and esc. I did everything humanly possible to avoid shipping costs and I did great except for the batteries. Had to pay the shipping on that. If anyone actually reads this can you let me know if the radio ive chosen sounds OK. Also does anyone know the difference between the 2 versions of this controller. Its all I have left to order and I dont know which one is best.

Re: Help with Quad Build Thank you Max and Gordon for your input and advice. I really appreciate it. This is where I think im going. I love to mess with circuits and micro-controllers. Its fun and you gain a lot by learning the ins and outs of the system ill be using to fly the Hex. But im new to this and what I want most is the gps functionality and reliability. However Im on a budget and that's why I wanted the naza lite controller @ $69.00 usd ($79.92 cdn). My budget just cant take the hit for the extra 100 bucks for the gps module yet. Total cost of my Hex right now is at $435.81. That includes everything need to build and fly my Hex with 1 spare esc, motor and 2 complete sets of blades as extras. Ill be following the video listed below but ill be using different motors and maybe esc's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdMI7ilhSbo Thanks guys |

IE: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Brand...925269889.html Having tried all of the above and then some, I can tell you that you get what you pay for. You can go cheap, and fly basic, but there is a lot of frustration in making the basic stuff work LIKE a naza once you start wanting to get into GPS position hold, altitude hold and return home/ autoland. The cheap stuff just makes you want to pull your hair out. And after few crashes because of incompatible hardware and adding up the cost of repairs, you will be telling yourself that it would have been cheaper to get the Naza from the beginning. |
