Birdman1 goes Game of drones " The Next Level"


lets do some frankensteining,
 lets combine 2 Ultimate parts out the quad world from today!

transparant Frame from Game of Drones

and  jep ......


Startup weight from the original setup





STANDARD WEIGHT FROM EMPTY FRAME





Now the hard part, sadly the manufacturer made no special marks to point out the center or center axes. so here is my trick...

al it took was 4 toothpicks and 2 rubberbands

put the rubberband through the center opening at the top of each arm, block rubberband with toothpick and make sure that they are centered in the opening

 this is the result, like that we know the exact metric Center from the setup which is crucial to each quadcopter system, 

HINT: maybe it would be a idea to incorporate this in to the injection mold,  

so what do we need
centermark
All axes in PLUS style and in X style to be able to place the control system as perfectly as possible!
can't take that match of effort, just scratch it in to the existing mold.

this is my Control board

This is where we need to drill, lets mark .....





and this is what we get

drill with 3mm



Now mount the motor's


Mount the Control Module



Start straping,
 watch out , they are counted! ( the straps I mean)

push the SPLIT TUBE completely around the frame and fix with straps

This is the power board that we used for starters, I believe we will change this in the nearby future to a power split cable to gain back every millimeter for lipo protection




Getting a Battery inside is Hell, really , the room/place is really limited for the types that i use, and I believe I have a few...... actually i even want to use a 4 cell, so this makes it even more difficult....

I did some testing with a 3 CELL lipo , power was acceptable but not splendid..... 
so we really need 4 cell....



We need to cut in to the top of the frame to be able to fit a 4 cell, so this is how we did it.

We made a small cut out from only a few millimeters on both side

Now it fits like a glove
