Part 1
Had some time to kill today so I decided to assemble a new mini quad with a Copter Control board. The build is based on Rustys mini quad frame, this one using 1/2 inch square aluminum tubing for arms.
Here's the pile of parts I started with ...
Start by assembling the arm blocks onto the base center plate...
Add the middle centerplate that will hold the CC board...
Now add a set of 4 1/2 inch long alloy arms and start tightening up the bolts...
Just about 12 inches end to end without the motor mounts, with mounts the center to center distance works out to around 13 inches...
The CC board installed. The centerplate comes pre-drilled for the most common size flight controllers and now also for the CC making it a simple install...
Add some motor mounts and motors and its starting to look like a quad...
Just as I was getting ready to start installing the used Turnigy ESCs, the postman delivered a package with some new Turnigy Plush 12 amp ESCs plus a couple packages of connectors, time to do some soldering...
All soldered up and ready for heatshrink...
Heatshrink done, now its time to start the final assembly...
