Hi guys,
Finally this thread is booked for my first ever project build log. Have clicked a lot of pics starting from sealed box to RTF quad and a maiden video. Hope you guys enjoy it ,not really learning Because this is my first build too.

Parts used-
ST360 quad kit from Hobbyking
Kk2.0
Power distribution board
9xR radio with Flysky 9ch module
9x 8C v2 Rx
Plush 25A Turnigy ESCs

Had to pay Rs.2895 As custom duty~  Really felt bad for it :| still happy building the quad...wish it flies properly.

This project is good under 18k incl radio,charger and everything. Not really for fpv but for learning how to fly.

Stay tuned for the pics, takes time to upload guys.

Thanks,
Rahul

Do you get Quad Frame included in the kit ? or you will have to scratch build one ?? :/ i use carbon fiber rods from RC Dhamaka ... best damper compared to aluminium

I bought a frame. My next project(2weeks afterwards) will be a hexacopter.I am thinking of using wood for saving money..CF must be costly :/ and mounting it would require more parts and pre designed parts.

yeah wood has good damping property too .... the basic idea in multirotors is to get rid of vibrations ....either use a good frame or good gyros ... if you r using kk2 then no probs with what kind of frame u wanna use ... i used very poor gyros ..and hex are very stable compared to tri and quads .... .

Okay,everything's working excellent. The only problem is all the motors dont start at once. I tried calibrating the ESCs and the kk2 esc calibration aswell. :| What to do?

same here  even with the quad .... i guess its in the code .... the 2nd motor ... (as in kk2 configuration) always starts first .... i tot its some glitch in the esc ....exchanged the motors and esc ... still its the same port ... i guess its the firmware

Should I do the firmware upgrade? Or let me first connect the props and maiden it
I will need to purchase the usbasp for that :|

Also, for the hexacopter DT700 are good or I should buy NTM prop drives?

well upgrading is always good .... but i recommend you have fun with your gizmo before screwing it up ... lolz .... btw if you are from delhi then u can buy usbasp from rcelectro.com just 450rs good service:) for hex NTM goes good .... DT700 series iz for tri and for good response .. NTM has lots of power in it .... and nobody will expect a hexcopter to do a summersault so NTM is good to go .... btw any motor will work fine ...

Box packed



Slightly opened. Dont laugh people, first unboxing from HK.

Okay buddy, do PM with your contact details and a small list of motors that can lift a hex of AUW 2.5kg Thanks.

upgrade to 1.5 firmware on kk2 board and then go to Misc. settings......there u'll find something called "lowest throttle" (don't exactly remember) 
anyways so what you do is, increase that number until all the motors spin at once

oh thanks adityaamg
really appreciate your help.
But with this the motors will start a high speed? o.O

What to do if you dont have a kkboard but the program running is a copy of kk ?  made a custom board copy of kk1

i have a kk2 laying around but i am actually waiting for my motors to arrive for the quad i am building.
i think yes the motors will spin at a slightly higher rpm than normal, but its okay. i have seen it on youtube

here is the video..its called "minimum throttle"

how did you manage to ship a transmitter???

Hmm thank aditya, I just saw it in real, will practice it in real tomorrow.

rchobbyaddict.com - Bought it from him.

my build 

oooooh

sorry for the background noise!

what are you trying to say?
