NICE!! Many ways to do this.

Higher gain if not a larger antenna is achieved in thickness. Is your replacement thicker than the 2mm OEM? I used to manufacture High Gain Antennas for 7 years.

First, the antenna should spec as well or higher than the OEM antenna. I purchased antennas with a gain 4X higher but had to remove the plastic ribs out of the shell which is responsible for cracking the OEM antennas anyway. The orientation does not matter as that is established on boot up /...

Thanks guys... I never have been know for leaving anything stock...

8 motors, 4S battery and manual mode lift off. If everything is balanced right and all motors are pulling evenly it will go straight up. It has to be a calm day.

The 15mm round LED rings I found on ebay. The links I had no longer go to the original supplier. I turned them on with an 8 channel LED controller.

No, but you need 2 CF mounting plates and each mount only comes with 1 so you can make a second from fiber board or buy extra mounts.

Milled off the ends, milled a 16mm hole for the CF boom and lock in with a through bolt.

Well that sure gets rid of a lot of hearsay.

Colin has apparently been wrongfully treated for a court to do this and what he is doing is apparently legal in the US DJI has put a stop to myself in bringing to the attention of many forum members issues DJI has had and has refused to correct. They have paid off forums to ban myself and even...

I have done some 800mm F550 builds with them but no coaxials. I am finishing an 800mm F450 using 16mm carbon fiber tubing. Nice to see RCT in the US but they have no customer support. Not sure why they have a contact form. They haven't replied to any of my questions.

Yes, but what do these arms have to do with X8 build options?

If I lifted weight with them I would prefer lighter/ stronger CF boards as I don't use the copper inlay anyway. But to answer your question, no.... no issues with the boards. The legs are doing most of the support.

Make your own.... Using CF booms you can have any length you desire Lighter than aluminum Much quieter than aluminum Hide your ESC wiring inside the booms. Inside the Boom ESC's are now available for the 20mm CF tubing http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?14305-DJI-X8-Options

That is an assembly of 2, 4X20 amp esc's wired together. I don't know who makes them but there sold under several names. Mine came from Hobby King under the Q-Brain name. Some I see use different Capacitors and that's an item that I usually upgrade. The cheap Chinese caps used are under rated...

I like Gryphon products but just that board alone is larger then my entire 8 ESC assembly and adds 85gr of unnecessary weight. That board is for much larger airframes and power hungry motors. I am heat sinking one of the 4 X 20 ESC's to the copper F450 bottom plate and the other to the original...
