about a week ago i saw a picture of a quad that flitetest had built, the main body was constructed out of a plastic tool box. so that gave me the idea to build a smaller version or concept of the idea, i came up with this, :)
i went to king supers and picked up one of these maker holding bins, they were only about $1.00 each. i then used half inch square wooden dowels to construct the booms, as you an see i used a slight 30 degree angle so my props would not be so close to each other.
just installed the motors(1100 kv) and 30 amp esc, i drilled a hole for the esc leads to pass through
just added some bottem supports to make the body stronger and keep it from flexing
now what i did with the fpv camera to protect it from water is unscrewd the lense and used it as a bolt to screw into a drillded hole in the frount of the quad.
i then cleaned up all the esc leads and sodderd them to a parralel connecter to house two small batterys, i then took some dollar tree foam and glued that over the escs (i have way bigger escs than i need so they are very cool) and installed the control board (cheap multiwii $20) and velcrow for battery and receivers etc.
finally i threw some crude landing gear on and charged my batterys. took only 2 days (a few hours each day) to throw together and is one of the nicest quads i have built ( i dont build very nice quads often lol)
thanks for reading!
