Howdy,
I'm TAZ427 (aka Chad) from Texas.
Currently in waiting on a Q450 frame from HK to get here from China. Started out a month ago with a parts list to build my first Quad. It didn't include a Frame as I planned on 3D printing a frame. I ran into major issues with printing the ARMs of the frame I wanted (curling at the ends.) I all the items I ordered from HK (from 3 different warehouses no less) eventually came in, but I had no Frame :dread: and eventually decided to order the Q450 from HK. Only ships from China I guess, I really wish they'd stock more stuff in their US warehouses. That was a week ago, so I probably have at least a couple weeks to go before it comes in. Probably while I'm on vacation (Holiday for those in the EU :tennis
The quad will have the following HW KK2.1 w/ 1.5 FW, Q-brain 4x25A ESC, Turnigy L2210C 1200KV motors, 10x4.5 props, [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Turnigy 6X FHSS 2.4ghz Transmitter and [/FONT][FONT=arial, sans-serif]Receiver[/FONT][FONT=arial, sans-serif] (cheap but effective from my understanding), and a Turnigy 4000mAH 3S 30C LiPo. Plus misc support items (batt charger/balancer/storage, ESC programmer, Prop balancer, etc.)[/FONT]
In retrospect I wish I had purchased separate ESC's but I had already purchased it because of the plans I was using had somewhat tubular arms and I wanted to run the wires through them.
I replaced the battery connect w/ an XT60 and balanced my Props last night as my connectors and balancer came in. Still need to adjust the hub balance on a couple but I don't have an CA at the moment.
I'll program my ESC's this weekend, shouldn't take but a few minutes. I've got a few general questions, but I'll search first and then post if needed.
