    Kde 4215-465 bench test. Shocked by results.

    I Was bored last night. Set up a test bench with my kde 4215-465 and 55a esc's. Using 16" props the amp draw @ full throttle was close to what KDE has in their technical data. They say 39.7 amps. 45.7 amps peak was what I got. The motors were cool. 80F max. Using 18" props the results...

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    Ok and I also saw one in the classifieds here. New

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    Hey. Just a FYI. There is another frame that looks just like gryphon at half the price. Djs or something. I don't know who copied who but I think they are worth looking at. A member here is a usa distributor. Jeff @FPVOne And his service is second to none.

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    The problem is that if you have enough thrust @ say 20% and you go to start your motors it will fly away. Lol. You need to sit down with a pad and paper or a spreadsheet and figure out weights of everything and I mean everything. Then you can start your motor, prop and battery selection.

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    I think your motors are too big for your application. You have 55 pounds of thrust @ 50% throttle. Way too much.

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    It can take a max motor diameter of 50mm if you machine the hole bigger like I did for a larger collar.

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    It's about 15/32" from the plate to the top of the mount so 1/2" spacers are perfect.

    Would KDE5215XF-435 motors fit gryphon dynamics (GD-X8 1000 frame) motor mount?

    No they won't. They are too big in diameter plus the shaft collar is too big to fit the hole in the mount anyways. So you have 2 options. Best option would be to buy this: http://gryphondynamics.co.kr/product/x-motor-mount-for-coaxialmm-1000cq Much cheaper option would be to get aluminum...

    Maiden flight Vid. what do you guys think I shoud do with gains?

    Kde motors and esc. To be honest they ran perfectly and not a mark on them. Lol. No video. Here is the wreckage pile. The funny thing is I'm one of those guys that never gets upset with things like this or car accidents etc. I didn't even swear. Lol. I'm gonna chill a couple days and...

    It's part of the learning process. Happened so fast I honestly don't know what happened.

    I crashed it today. Frame, retracts and props totaled. Lol.

    The downfall of using a rectilinear (5.4mm) lens/gopro

    Word on the street is that most vendors selling this type of lens all sell the same one. Chinese made cctv lens probably worth $10. I paid $150 for mine and a friend paid $300 for his from a big name place. They look the same to me and he has the same problems I do.

    Gryphon 1000 hex build with ecalc data

    The maiden wasn't 100% perfect. The advantage of video editing. Lol. I'm gonna strap a load equivalent to the weight of camera and gimbal and adjust gains but I really don't know where to start. I'm probably gonna take it to a guy I know that has way more experience.

    Maiden flight Vid. what do you guys think I shoud do with gains?

    This is the part I don't get. I can assign gains to x3 and use a knob on my Futaba 14sg. Does it adjust the 6 gains at once?

    Gryphon 1000mm hex wookong with v2 imu (a2 imu) 2 x 6s12000 Do gains look ok? I think it will be less jittery when i have the weight of the gimbal and camera bring the COG lower but I am open to suggestion on how to dial in gains. Oh, and do you like the Canadian Heli Pad? lol Thanks

    Gryphon 1000 hex build with ecalc data

    Aluminum parts are finished for the retracts. The 10mm pin is offset so that we can use 20mm cf tubes with those retracts. If you fold don't understand I will post a pic when they are mounted. Also, got my brand new, never even opened wookong today. Good ebay find @ $420. I got a brand...

    Gryphon 1000 hex build with ecalc data

    Not much going on here. I wasn't happy with the way the motor wires were. The looped out the back and it really bothered me. I will post a pic of the before and after in this post. To get them to go directly into the arm I needed to drill my motor mounts out to accept a 4mm bolt. So...
