Airhawk's Shreiker 130

[airhawk]

well i have some stuff to do this week should be a fun build session

 

[airhawk]

Would these wires be too small to use for the esc harness

 

[Twitchity]

Yes, that wire looks too small. I'd probably stick with something around 20aug or lower.

 

[Ocean]

You could probably get away with 22AWG, I use 20AWG on my atom and wouldn't use it on anything that draws over 12a.

 

[airhawk]

still havent got 22awg wire i might go to the LHS tomorrow to try find some

 

[airhawk]

Should I lock tight the motor screws on now or wait till the end of the build?
Thanks
-Airhawk

 

[Twitchity]

I've never used locktight on motor screws just for the simple fact I'm usually removing one (or two) motors each weekend to clean dirt out of them. Get them snug and check the tightness every so often and you should be good.

 

[airhawk]

I was worried about the screws shaking out of place also twitchy how close to exact can you to exact can you tune a quad to another?

I just noticed this weekend my envelope for you with the header pins is still sitting there...do you still need those? Sorry they haven't found their way into a mailbox yet...my wife lost our stamps and I keep forgetting to get more since that's usually her thing (she gets upset that I buy the boring "forever" stamps while she likes fancy special stamps.)

 

[Darkback2]

For a while my wife would send her best friend an envelope covered in 1 cent stamps every time the price went up...

On another note...AIRHAWK! hurry up. I'm getting bored over here and want to watch more videos!

sorry for the shameless plug

 

[airhawk]

ok so i got the wire along with some free gemfan props yesterday so im going to try to get some build time and put this together on Friday or Saturday

 

[airhawk]

Soldered one of the motors to the wrong pad of the pdb I'll hit it with the iron tomorrow today I need to rest up this week has been packed with deadlines at school I cant wait for the weekend I have no multirotors to fly because my only mini quad's battery died so until I get my parents to buy another one nothing on that front.Anyway sorry for the lack of updates I will get back with more soon.

 

[airhawk]

Finally i finished the pdb and motors.

 

[Darkback2]

I'm not sure it will fly like that.

 

[airhawk]

I'm not sure it will fly like that.

Ha!You never know i just attached the battery connector just wondering now if i have to use the 5v step down for my setup

 

[airhawk]

ok so im almost done i just soldered the naze pins but i need to straighten out a few because they are badly bent after that i need to study twitchy's post earlier in this thread then follow the steps and finish it off.Since school is coming to a close in another month or so im having more time to crash stuff
