Last crawled date: 2 years, 12 months ago

To build your own little copter you need to get.
1) Carbon fibre tubes 8mm Dia x 300mm long, you will need 4 of them. I use carbon tubes from universal landing skids for a quadcopter see photo attached.
2) Some hardware for joint you need m3x25 + locknut and you will need m3x65+mm for spacers
3)Prototype PCB's
4) Print plastic parts.
My setup is:
Apm 2.7
micro gps http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__64142__HKPilot_Micro_GPS_and_Compass_Module_U_BLOX_7_8g_.html
DYS 1804 2300kv motors http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=66399
AfroESC 30A (you need max for 10A)
5030 props
FPV kit
APM Power module
2A 3s Battery
I include source files feel free to modify it to your needs.
Work still in a progress, after flight test i will release final version.
Update:
Landing skids has been added.
First flight test shows very good result.
I use huge 4A - 280 gram battery for this little copter, and it flies as crazy, I could see its a bit overloaded but it handle all the weight with no problem at 65% throttle.
