Hi I'm Iain from Burnley in England,
I'm a newbie on here and fairly new to Quadcopters. I work as a Manufacturing Engineer for an automotive electronics manufacturer, originally a mechanical engineering apprentice and later went on to study electronics, my current job involves, mechanical and electronic design and building of test equipment for automotive electronics and switchgear. So building Quads is right up my street
I built my first quad using various parts from eBay and Hobbyking: Turnigy 2213 Motors, Turnigy Plush 30A ESC's, KK2 flight controller, Spektrum DX6i TX and Spektrum AR6115e RX. A home made frame using 10mm square section carbon fibre rods (approx 550mm). Turnigy nanotech 3300 3S batteries.
I've had a few flights with it and a few crashes too! all part of the fun I guess!, sort of getting to grips with orientation etc...
I've just bought (yesterday) a DJI Naza F450 kit, with the motors ESC's and props and DJI Naza flight controller, I built this up yesterday, very impressed with the quality of the kit, very tough moulded parts and all the other components seem very good quality. Had a bit of fun registering the software for the controller (Had to setup a gmail account because the activation email wouldn't come through my normal account). But I got there in the end.
If anyone has any tips or gain settings I should be using with the DJI Naza and the F450 then any advice would be greatly appreciated :02.47-tranquillity: I'm going to use a 3300 3s battery with it and my Spektrum DX6i etc.....
Cant wait til I am halfway decent at flying these things :tennis:
