Groundstation update

Hello

Recieved a Helix antenna for my Ground station yesterday. Will use it together with a CL antenna with my Eagle Eyes Diversity.

I also installed Naza controller with Gps on my old Quad.

Also a quick pic of my Samsung Galaxy Tab running Andropilot to controll my APM 2.5 FC.

Heres pics of my first version Power Distribution Board.

Updates

So since last time i have gotten a few more bits for the FY680 Hexa.

I have 6 HK30A ESC´s that i flashed with latest SimonK Firmware

 Flash cable

Small adapter i made to fit the pins on the Esc´s

Atm i am making my own Power Distibution Board using plastic and 1.5mm copperplate. Dont have to use as thick as 1.5mm but thats what i got home so.

Also as said before i am waiting for a Naza FC ( have the gps for it already ) . Meanwhile i am tinkering with a APM 25 i just recieved from RCTimer website. Chose normal shipping and i had it within a week :)

 433Mhz telemetry for the APM 2.5

Everything soldered and tried to see so it all works and it did.

And I am also building a camera gimbal for my SOny Nex5N camera and for that i have some 16mm 3k carbon fibre tubes with clamps and also 1 and 1.5mm 3k carbon plates.

And yesterday I also recieved my GoPro Hero3 Black Edition in the mail. Heres a few pics of it compared to my GoPro Hero1 HD and also of the LCD back that fits the old and new GoPro.

And finally I got one of my Hubsan X4 Quads aswell. Going to do a few mods to it as explained on RCGroups to make it more rigid.

Compared to my GP3BE, Its tiny :)

Thats all for now, thanks for looking :)

Tarot 680

Heres a pic with motors and props. Nothing is bolted down yet since i will still do a few mods to the frame.

More to come soon :)

More Toys

Got 3 packages today in the mail. One was the Tarot FY80 Foldable Hexa frame and the other two had a Naza GPS and a Simple Brushless Gimball Controller.

Box from Foxtech containing the FY680 frame.

Brushless gimball controller that i will use in either a GoPro gimball or  for my Sony Nex5N.

Naza GPS Still waiting for the Naza FC

Hobbywing Quattro ESC. Ordered one just to try on one of my Quads

Below are a few pics of the content of the FY680 box from Foxtech.

I will use Tiger Motors 2814 710kv motors on this hexa together with F-30A esc´s flashed with SimonK. Will use 12x6 Graupner E-Propps for starters.

Going to build the gimball in a near future and try it out.

Have ordered some more Carbon Fibre tubes for the gimball build and also a APM 2.5 FC with GPS and 433Mhz radio for telemetry. Will use my Android Tablet to see telemetry and also for waypoints and so on using Andropilot.

Mini Quad

A few days ago i ordered 2 Hubsan X4 Quads also just for fun. Will give one to my brother on his birthday.

They get good reviews and are perfect for indoors flying.

Ordered a few extra props and batterys aswell.

At 35$ each for RTF its really cheap.

Hoping to get them next week.

New FPV/AP Hexa

Hello

Sorry its been a long time since i last updated. Deicided to build a new Medium size hexa since i sold my DJI550 one.

This time i will go for the Tarot FY680. Will use Tiger Motors 2814 710kv motors with 12x6" Graupner propps. For starters i will use 3cell lipos but upgrade to 4cell later.

Atm i have only the motors and propps at home and hoping to get the frame next week.

Will use KK2.0 to start and then buy Naza with GPS.

More to come......

Hello Again

I put together my old VC450 frame with a KK2.0 board and it flies great with stock settings and FW1.0.

Going to tweak the settings abit and then its ready for my GF to fly when she comes back :)

Also bought myself a RCT800 frame thats just sitting and waiting for electronics. Dont know what to use in her yet but will figure it out soon.
