Yeah, had a lot of caffeine earlier in the day. Hmm, I remember your post about that. I'm using one board for three of the ecs's so that might spread the load out, but I will check. Using the Jacks from the boards, I can probably fabricate one. Thanks.

Got the motors and now have build a hex around then using the anycopter kit and a couple extra booms. Kk2.1 with Multistar 30a escs. Waiting on props and adapters. I also used two quad distribution boards to supply the escs, 3 to a side, and a castle 10a bec for FC and recv. Built it in one...

Yeah, thanks for the tip about the motors you used, $9.93 a piece, I got 10 of the motors and escs. Will look into the props. Are the shaft lengths an issue? You say you had to shorten them. Did you just cut them with a dremel?

I just ordered a bunch of those 2830-11 1000kv motors with some 30A escs. I think I do some experimenting with those in some different configs and work the bugs out of my building. I'm going to focus on making flying platforms and leave the heavy lifting for a future copter. I don't know...

Thanks wolph42, this will be very helpful!

Thanks LordPikaChu. I will check that out. I was afraid it was starting to look like all props! I don't want to scare the neighbors... or myself.

Thanks for the welcome Motopreserve! Yes, this is just for learning. The motors are just what I found that would work. I'll look at some of the others to trim my costs down. I tend to shoot for the moon and settle on an old satellite, but the learning I'm getting from this forum and...

I'm working on a drawing to see the relationship of the props to each other when mounted on this frame. Seems awful close.

As my first build, my overall goal is to build a hex around 2kg using motors/esc that I can use in future builds. I'm using an anycopter frame plus 2 extra legs/mounts from flighttest.com and a KK2.1 flight board. I wanted something I can learn on, with an eye to moving up to a DJI 450/500...

Thanks, guys. jbrumberg, I like your sig. My wife also looks on this new obsession with a jaundiced eye, but it beats robbing banks. She might encourage the latter though, once she sees the trickling cost of this hobby. I'm on the lookout for a thread where we can list our finished projects...

Hi everyone. I'm new to RC and have come in through the gate marked "Quadcopters". I edit video for a living and after seeing my friend's DJI Phantom II with a GoPro, I started looking for a platform to learn on. I went to my local Hobbytown USA and after some chatting picked up a Blade 350qx...
