Thanks bro. I gotta say from my research you don't see many guys using kde motors with generic esc's. As a matter of fact, I can't remember seeing one.

I was going to suggest rtf. It will definitely be cheaper but for some guys (myself included) learning, designing and building is 90% of the fun.

I wasn't busting balls btw. Didn't know it had a tip that small on the tube. Does it have any adhesive qualities on your a2 for example. Will it hold those plugs in a bit? Like silicone?

I'm thinking he meant that once the vortex sucks you in and you start ordering stuff this hobby is a bottomless pit in which to throw your money. Lol. This is my advise. First, check the build logs on this site and see if someone has built a similar set up. Or google x666 builds. That...

I totally agree. Nuts to be in this hobby for sure. But not nuts thinking the problems with the superx was from something I was doing wrong. Lol.

Folks. I am not NUTS. The dealer couldn't get it to work either and has sent me a new one. Let's hope the next one works.

Check this out. I would like to think quality control would be a top priority on something that could kill someone and as a consumer id even be willing to pay more knowing that a certain brand had many layers of qc to insure stuff like this couldnt happen.

I can't see a use for this on Rc aircraft. The bolts are too damn small.

Good score on the gopro. I finally got my HK order. It was a month total. I think I was one of the lucky ones from what I'm hearing. It's really too bad they don't have a great inventory states side. They probably don't think the sales figures justifys a large inventory. I think they...

You would be the ideal guy to do a follow up vid then. Can't leave people hanging. :-)

I really don't know what that mount looks like so don't know what you mean by 3 bevel head/1 flat head. I know on my gryphon mounts I had the choice of flat slots or beveled slots. Not a combination of the 2.

There is no way you are gonna shear four good quality and properly torqued 3mm bolts. Not gonna happen in a million years. If you insist on using 4mm because of your wire offset problem then machine the grooves. there is no other option here. Sometime you just have to improvise. Good to...

Id hate to promote my own thread but I just finished up a scratch built power distribution in my gryphon build thread. So many options commercially available or you can build your own.

I want to mention that just because AzV and I are using kde's it doesn't mean you should. We picked them for our application based on our research. That doesn't mean they are the best. I was more or less trying to get you to open your mind to the fact that there are many good brands.

How do you guys like my landing gear? Lol. I still have no idea what gimbal I'm using. There are a couple coming out in the next couple months that I will consider. Until then I don't know if I need retracts or if I will have built in legs like on a movi mr. So these will be my legs...

Those are the motors I'm using. They have a 13mm OD shaft collar on the back so you may have to drill out or change out your mounts. That's a newer motor and not available in ecalc

So here is my finished 1000 amp PDB. 1.5mm oxygen free copper. 5.5mm castle creations bullets for motor wires and 4mm bullets for bec, FC and one spare for accessories. 8 gauge battery leads soldered direct. Copper was clear coated and I've put a layer of 1/8 lexan between +/- just for...

Disclaimer. I have very little practical experience with multirotor design but I'm learning. Have spent countless hours on ecalc and researching my build, talking to experts etc. I'm thinking you need a motor prop combo with between 1300 and 1400 grams of thrust @ 50%. Pick a motor based...

Tal. Andrew really knows his stuff. His only fault is that he sometimes tell us we picked the wrong motor after its on delivery. :). He's pretty much saying the 3520 is gonna be borderline and I agree. I don't think you will be happy with them. You don't even have room to use a larger...

I thought avroto and tmotor were effectively the same motor. I highly doubt if you compared thrust between the 2 brands there would be a difference. You need to be aware that some companies test and rate their motors differently. Testing equipment varies. I am not an expert by any...
