foldable FPV quadcopter project

[juz]

hi guys

I am building a new FPV quadcopter to take on holidays and travel with. It must fit in a day pack and be inexpensive.

Got this frame.

Using RCTimer 850kv motors and turnigy plush 18A escs.

Not sure which FC I will use..will probably install a 300mW 1.3GHz Vtx and a small FPV camera. I will also fit a gopro. I may cut the arms/booms down a little also.

Will update as the build progresses

Made a power spider and fitted a kk board to the frame today. Used some 10x4.5's.
Hovered just fine. Will take it outside for a real test tomorrow.

Nice m8.

Nice? Maybe..We'll see soon I guess...haven't had much luck with the kk board on other frames. I might end up using a quadrino or CC if I can get one.

Cut the frame down to a 450. Will fit in a day pack now (as planned). Just got to make the kk board play nice or use my quadrino or gu344.

Can't wait to hear how it works. Just ordered CC board. Trying to decide if I should put on a tri or quad and I like the looks what that place has. Or could take quadrino board off of vic 450 and put on this.
