RC-Hangout

Well I have been looking at this frame for ages, and tbh my Alien is a little heavy for the power train, so I was looking around and seen this on offer, and I had a 5% discount code as well so thought what the hell,

So I'm gonna recycle all of the electrics from the alien and have this as my big bird,
Build should start tomorrow morning,

I like the frame!

Yes so do I,

It's a QAV400 so a little smaller than the Alien, and all up weight should be around 300g lighter so should see some longer flight times and less stress on the power system, and a bit punchier

That's sweet looking, Kev!

Well here's the frame parts and have to say they ooze quality,

Arms and base plate spacers fitted to the PDB
Motors installed
Clean section bolted together
Esc's installed after trimming, I have not got quite enough length on the motor wires so can't put them through the cut outs in the arms, this will be resolved when I get new motors, in the near future,
Very neat way the PDB is laid out,
More to follow later!

Little brother to my QAV500.
Great frames.

Well it's finished I have shoe horned all the elects in and here is the end result,
Naza updated with new settings and it was time for a quick hover in the garden,

Here's the video,

Nice Congrats!

Looked nice and stable in the wind.

It was pretty good Lee, need to up the gains a bit, took them down a little to much from the 500 settings I had in there,

Want to get it out and FPV it now but weather not looking good for me to do that for a few days,

have i been sleeping under a rock. (might have been sleeping with cleanflight )

quick build mate. video looks sweet in the wind. you will be able to made some awesome vids with that

That's what I'm hoping for Dan, gimbal is next, but got to wait a bit for that,

Was most pleased that there was no jello in the video, I was getting more and more as I was flying the alien more, don't know why but it was,

Oh and I had the kit at 10:50 and it flew at 6pm ish,

Is it just me? Go inverted on the grass on the left Kev:)

And Snow White is missing a Dwarf:)

Oh and as always............Kev, you are the man:).............nice flight:)

QAV frames are good stuff. Congrats on the successful test flight!

The proper maiden of the QAV and it flew pretty darn well, need a little drop on gains but it was nice to fly,

Wow Kev, that was a cool flight, nice steady forward momentum kept, great stuff mate

Nice one Kev:)

Well I have flown this now for a while and she has Fownhope beautifully but she just needed something else and my ambition was always 4s

In reality it's all 3s batteries esc's and motors well it was anyway.

My first step towards 4s is T-Motor 2216-9 1100kv beasties.
Then side besides shot.
And the fitted shot, had to solder the bullets and fit easy job.

Nice motors Kev
