Satya, what did you used to mount the motors in the second pic (300mm quad)
Bilal bhai i used the motor mount out of the old lady bug that i had. But they are not good, they dont keep the motors are 90 deg :headbang: its better to go with sketch pen cap or e-cig like VC sir said. I would rather suggest to make mounts using some hard paper. I would try something about this and update :thumbsup:

@Arun very nice man, can i add your video on the product page?? ;D

I have received new set of motors. Arun's idea of using CF rod i pretty good. Any idea arun where we can get them from? Or shall i get from my China :D

@SHIV: Yep i am using the same diy kit from satya bhai
The fc board is mounted using double sided tape and battery using velcro(easy to remove and charge)
i will add a lot of pic today.. But the build looks too bad :giggle: :giggle:
The wires are not properly hidden(lazy to do all these)  >:D

I think I can able to lift a small key chain cam if I updated to 720 motors right satya?
I tested this with different load..
Till 35gms it was fine.. when increasing the weight it is not lifting up more than a feet.. :p

Use geared motors with 4x2 or 5x3 props for better lift.

Bilal

Sundaram Sir, I have given that a thought, but making precise gearboxes are a problem, though I have the pinon and main gears from a couple of coaxial helis lying with me.......... Any idea to build one?

If they are all from same model heli then it should work definitely. You can make geared motors from damaged servo gears. Only all four servos have to same model.

Why not enlighten all of us by posting it

satyagupta

Sundaram sir

How to bind the transmitter with receiver/Bind instructions:

1. Plugin battery to receiver LED will flash quickly and stops
2. Keep it on flat surface and LED will start to flash again at a rapid rate
3. Hold bind button on your TX and switch it ON
4. LED on receiver should start to flash slowly
5. Turn off your TX and leave the bind button and switch ON your TX again.
6. LED on receiver should be solid now, which means its binded successfully

i will modify the first post of the thread with lots of info. I have the modified text will send PM to gusty sir to do the needful :thumbsup:

Shivela boss mine is 100mm motor to motor...
What happens to your second build.. make sure that the fc is fixed parallel.. just use a double sided foam tape throughout and cut a slit for the projected parts...
mine now does flips also will upload the video...

Dear Satya,
Just curios to know what happened to the H-Quad you built on the demo video? Did it fly? Were there any issues flying it? What was the total weight of it?

Thanks,
Sudhakar
