Quadrotor Build Thread

[rajsigma]

@ Anwar sir
How can you mount motor without screw/nut in useing hk board quad, i want some idea to fix motor.

While testing my HK board, I just used rubberbands to attach the motor, as the balsa arms of my quad were wide enough to almost cover the based of the motor.  But that was only for testing. 

For production/final use, see the method followed by Ashta bhai in his quad thread as one possibility.  Basically people attach small pieces of ply to the arm, just like you would do on any balsa build (with epoxy and/or screws, plus triangular pieces of balsa from the sides).  Then attach the motors to the ply sheets that have been cut to the right square/rectangular size to fit the base of the motor.

A Dremel is wonderful in such occasions !

Hey buddies,
I started to build a quadrotor using Arduino UNO. I am totally new to this RC field.
Got all the parts of quadrotor except IMU and tested well using Arduino UNO. But, now the problem is that I am not able to hover quadrotor without sensors. So, I am thinking of IMU for it.

So, anybody tell me which IMU is best suitable with Arduino UNO Controller..??
Guys, please do reply..!!

I am making a quadrotor setup of Arduino UNO+Zigbee..
Which IMU suites to this setup.?
Any Indian vendors delivering this ArduIMU.?
Suggestions please..!!
