Hi Yogesh.

Sorry but I couldn't understand what you meant by:

1.why cant you just directly connect the 4 pins in the controller board to the 4 ports in the Rx ?

I wonder if this board including most other MultiWii boards can be called a "Plug-n-Play" board. I think to get a plu-n-play board, you need to shell out more bucks. Probably a paris v3.0 or the DJI FCs qualify as true plug-n-play boards.

         what i ment was that , u need 4 male to male connectors to connect the Controllers (thr,ele,rudd,ali)  board and Rx !
         how come only 2 male-male connectors are used and why ???

Dharmik

Yogesh bro let me clear few things. male2male lead has 3 wires.
the lightest color wire is signal wire. Generally darkest color is negative. On hk board pot side signal wire comes first.
Rx gets 5V from the board and board gets 5V from the ESC's BEC. For safety you have to disconnect(don't cut just remove metal pin from the plastic case) red wires from 3 ESCs and keep 1 ESC as it is. Now connect escs to the board. You can do same thing with rx.

Looks good yogesh all the best with the build, I have also build one, it flew nicely but after a hard landing it refuses to fly :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Dharmik bhai

        1. the controller board has 4 slots (ele,thr,ali,rud) agree?
        2. the Rx has 7 slots , agree?
         
        3.  (with reference to vineet's photo) why cant you connect the 4 slots of the controller to the 4 slots of the Rx directly ?
        4. in vineet's picture the connections are made in some order ! why ? can you please explain it to me !

Its personal preference buddy, you can connect 4 male to male cables from board to Rx or you can connect 2 (as shown by vineet) and thats how most of the quad builders like to do (including me) you see you get the job done with just 2 male to male cables :giggles:

Vineet sorry ! :-) satyagupta - sorry man ! Thank you guys :-)

You need not be sorry for that, I was only trying to indirectly say I have not tried an HK v2.1 FC before, and that all I did was googled and gave the info to you. :)

Waiting to see your quad flying.
Best of luck,
Vineet

thankyu subbu ...for info ..im using a 3mm collet prop adaptor and i wnna attach it to (10*4.5SF prop) :)
after that i wanna connect it to CF 2822 motor

Pikle6

got it yogesh

i am posting the tutorial for 3mm collet type adapter and a 8*4SF prop but the size does not matter

sorry i could not take video with one hand so i am making a step by step photo guide

1 - you need to bore the prop hole to increase its diameter (it can be easily done using one arm of a scissor or buy a prop boring tool)
2 - the required items
3 - 3mm shaft motor mounted using clamps and balsa strips
4 - first threaded part is inserted into the 3mm shaft

5 - insert the base (i dont really know the exact name of this)
6 - insert the washer/baseplate (dont know its name either)
7 - insert the prop
8 - insert the spinner

9 - hand screw the prop spinner
10 - use pliers to further tighten (you can also use a pin or small screw driver to go through the two holes in the spinner and rotate to tighten)

I did not intend this to be a 10 step guide to mounting the prop adapter and prop but as it happens i just did  ;D

hope this helped

Subbu

EDIT - if you still face any problems please ask i shall post a video

thankyou subbu :) thankyu so much for giving me step by step instructions for me at this late night :D
and subbu i saw your quad parts , they are really awesome :) ...how much did you get them for ?? and what is the total thrust given by your motor ??

Pikle6

no problem yogesh i usually go to work on my planes during these hours

hi my each motor produces about 700gms of thrust they are http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=21478

the total cost for all the electronics,accessories,props,controller board(before i was using V3 multi rotor board but now i bought kk2 lcd multi rotor board) is 141.5$ but i got about 15 $ discount as store credit so about 7000rs without ems shipping.
