Papa
I forgot to say the battery I am using on the tri copter is a 2600ma 40c and that's only giving me 5 safe minutes, not sure what the problem is I change the motors .
I am going to down size the props to 10-74 I am using 11-47 may be too large.
But I have to say bigger is better and more stable.
The quad is like a rocket added a red plex disk on the front so I can tell the front from the back

What is your motor temperature with 11-47 prop?

That looks really good AK

I'll follow your advice Caddmus, sounds like a better idea than mine

Happy Flying

Because of your thread I am thinking seriously to build a quadcopter Papa

I can see a quadcopter in my future

What blades are you using on your quad? Did you have to drill them to fit the prop adapter?

Thanks

Happy Flying

@ AKPHill
Looks good!

If I may ask what board is it?
I am using a 4000 on my quad been work great! I may try a 4400.
I will as soon as it uploads post a link to a video of my Quad but it was late in the day so it may be a little dark.

What is your motor temperature with 11-47 prop?

I just checked them I had 2 of the 3 at 79F and 1 at 84F 9 (outside temp 79F)
I may ----------one more time change the motors on the tri copter to the ones I am using on the quad!

They been doing great (KNOCK ON WOOD)

It's a free flight board version 1.3.1
It's capable of doing tri quad and hex

I use this prop.
I don't have to drill anything. It fit perfectly.

papascotimini · « **Reply #70 on:** May 16, 2012, 03:16:41 PM »

Thanks. The ones I'm using won't fit the prop adapter. I'll order the blades you are using when they are back in stock.

Happy Flying

guys

Everything needed to build my quad should be here next week and I'm going to start configuring the electronics. Could you tell me the motor diagram for a + configuration (I have opted for + instead of x) and do I need to cut the BEC wire on the ESC if I'm using this board: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=21977 or can I leave all the BEC wires intact?
Thanks

Happy Flying

Hey Papa

Disconnect all but one from the 4 esc, I removed the wires from the plug and fold them back.(center wire TAPE OR HEAT SHRINK)
I like the + config not sure if I went to the X config I could fly the Quad.
Motor rotation and placement and prop rotation should be at the link below

Thank you very much RC

Got pretty much everything soldered but I have encountered a problem, the ESC battery cables won't fit my battery bullet connector. What can I do to make them fit? I have 4mm JST-XH bullet connectors.
Thanks

Happy Flying

Papa
