I bought a new frame - AQ-600

[Loopdreams]

I ordered it this morning when I was still half asleep but it appeared to tick a few boxes for me:

Has anyone got one?  Seen one?  Are they hopeless and awful?

I just wanted a nicer ride for my GoPro really.  My 450 is ok but there's not a great deal of room on there.

it looks cool and well put together im sure you will be very happy with it

Aitch :laugh:

I hope so, I don't think I'll be bothering with the stealth bicycle helmet cover, though.

Also I feel as though it could do with some turny uppy bits on the ends of those skids, I could imagine it tipping if I'm drifting a bit when landing on grass.

I've had a 'hovering finger' for a few days over this one:

Price seems amazing.

[Loopdreams]

Yeah, I looked at that one too.  It's a fair bit heavier though and not in the UK warehouse.  So by the time you add the international postage the price is more comparable.  I'm also impatient.

  I'm also impatient.

I KNOW that feeling too !!

This turned up yesterday.  Very impressed with it so far.  The quality seems pretty decent and it seems very stiff and light.  Can't wait to get all the gubbins on there and get the little cocksucker in the air.

But I'll have to wait because I've not got enough wire, so I've got some on order.  And we're away this weekend.  Bah!

lol.i'm halfway through building mine,just taking a dinner break :)

not as much room as i thought there would be,fitting escs underneath,bit too nr. FC if shoved in centre plates.
But you right very solid and light.

gunna cut legs down a bit on mine..
i'll post some pics when finished if you want?

[Loopdreams]

I'm fitting two ESCs on top and two underneath, the FC in the middle, the RX on the top plate and the satellite RX and the VTx are both going on the undercarriage legs.  Not quite figured how I'm fitting the LiPos yet as the thing that comes with it for that is getting the GoPro and FPV cam attached to it.

What's your thinking behind cutting down the legs?  Just more maneuverability?

I'd definitely like to see some pics of yours to see how you chose to do it.  There's not a lot of information on this one out there that I can find.

[Brod]

yes i'm nicking batt. frame thing for my gopro too,dry run first of course :)
Batt should fit under legs middles i think with some velcro straps.. tryin to do it neat but with FPV wiring and stuff pretty hard...
i'll post some pics later after tea..

[Brod]

as good as finished,just needs setting up on DJI Assistant tomoz.
3S 4000 lipo.1080KV motors,SimonK escs..got tons of 10" Graups for it.. ;)

[Loopdreams]

Just about got mine done too.  Need to fix the FPV gear and that's about it:

Gave it a quick hover in the lounge and it seems ok.  Just need to wait for some weather now.

[Jimbodiddly]

Looks very nice and tidy.

Sent by my fingers

Looking very smart lads :)

Got this out for a quick poodle round the field earlier, was windy, cold and dull so it's just a quick check to make sure it's all ok:

Quite pleased with the lack of jello, that's just with the gopro hard-mounted, no foam or anything at all.
