[HasteRC] N-Armed Quad - Build Log
I've been collecting parts for a while, and still waiting on things to finally arrive after being back-ordered for weeks. Originally I was going to build a VooDooQuads 250 carbon, but found this frame before my motors showed up.
I've seen a couple of reputable pilots on the youtubez sporting this frame and took a look, figured I'd give it a go after a bit of initial investigation. This is the new V2 frame, but I believe the only real changes were in the fasteners being used. I think the new hardware is a bit heavy (likely steel) and will be getting replaced as soon as my order from fastener express shows up. A quick mock up just to get a feel for the new frame here:
The basic frame assembled above is currently weighing in at 157g... and that's just a bit too heavy considering there's no PDB. The advertised weight is <140g, but I believe this is with the original aluminum fasteners and silicone standoffs. The v2 also sports 2mm carbon plates for the bottom/mid/top sections, where I believe it was 1.5mm originally. Hoping to drop a bit of fat with aluminum fasteners and regular nylon standoffs. Initial impressions are this is a very well crafted kit, and it looks super sharp and neatly laid out. We'll see how the build goes and how it flies!
Proposed build:
N-Armed Quad by HasteRC - 5" prop configuration (240mm m2m)
FrSKY X4RSB 3/16 Channel Receiver (SBUS)
SP Racing F3 (Acro)
RMRC - Mini Power Distribution Board - 5V & 12V BEC + Switches
KISS 18a ESCs
Cobra 2204/28 2300kv
HQ 5x4 props
Plastic Case mini 600tvl Sony Super HAD CCD
FatShark - 250mW 5.8GHz A/V Transmitter
TrueRC - 5.8 GHz Fan RHCP Omni Antenna (5 Blade)
Lumenier 1300mAh 4s 60c
