with the camera mount offset does it still balance down the center (along the roll axis)?
Doesn't everyone roll their hexacopter on a beer bottle to establish COG?
(Okay, I had to use a vacuum cleaner wand for the long axis. Not as much fun.)
The GoPro and the Tx are both offset 1 inch to starboard; but the battery weighs so much more, that .5 inch offset to port evens it out.
Balancing bow to stern was a much smaller input to the rear that I had anticipated. I originally had planned to have the battery strapped back on the bracket above the Tx.
THe second set of wires coming off of the Deans plug, are they going to the power dist pads in the lower frame plate? edit....nevermind, I just saw that you have two wires coming off of the frame plate and one set is the larger size for power to the motors.
Right. I borrowed that idea from your soldering video. One 12 gauge set of wires from DJI and one set of 10 gauge wire as recommended by Bart. And the liquid electrical tape saved my tush on that one, because those were some ugly looking bumps of solder.
Heads up: If you have two male battery connectors on the plate, and are running one battery and not using the other connection as a power port; you need to cap the free connector. Once you hook up a battery, the free connector becomes a charged male end looking to bite you.
In the back of my mind I'm considering using two batteries for longer flights without the landing gear and camera. But I need the blessings of someone more knowledgeable than myself:
If I plug 2 3S 5200mah batteries into the frame plate at the same time, do I get 6S 10,400mah? Or do I get a small explosion without confetti?
Does the FC need to be re-programmed? For 6S or for confetti?
