Title: Homemade 400 Sized Quadcopter
Post by: Rudeboy on April 15, 2015, 10:15:41 PM
Hey folks, built myself a 400 sized quadcopter out of some old landing gear/ broken frames and carbon tube, quite happy with how it turned out, simple enough to build, specs are in 1st video here's some pics,

cheers buddy, yeah flies well just need to tune the PID's but was too windy to do any proper tuning on its maiden will hopefully get back out this week to tune properly.

T connectors were from some landing gear but have seen the exact same ones on ebay.

Nice simple design if you want to angle the motors forward to reduce tilt/drag while flying as well :)
