MAKE A QUAD LAYOUT LIKE THIS ONE WORK IF IT DOES ITLL BE "TOO MUCH"

[VastGolem]

Hey everyone. Well I think a few laughed at me when I asked if this would work, but I'm going to try it any way. I CHALLENGE anyone to see if they can when and if I cannot.

Build a frame outta whatever you want but it has to weigh eight grams with a 2s 1600 MaH battery on it, and have close to these dimensions.

Motor Mount to Motor Mount(center to center) 21 1/2 inches on the long points
10 3/4 inches on the shrt span

Throw in a four 2212 1000 kv brushless
Any 30 amp esc's you want
Any controller you want
Any set of 9 inch props you want..............does leave 1 1/2 inch clearance according to my measurements, I know not much but oh my WHAT'S THIS THING GONNA DO?????????????????????????????

And make it fly...................................................... Below is a picture of the frame I'm going to use with battery body and frame it weighs 8-9 grams


Hint WLTOYS V323 used to be a hex but I can't imagine what that would do. Bought it for my son to fly around in the yard we were in the street and a snowplow came by while we were minding our own business, and sprayed that road treatment crap all over it. Don't know what's in that stuff but it fried the board immediately. Darn remote was off and the motors just kicked on by them selves and then started smoking. Never worked right again. As soon as I plugged the battery in motors would smoke and lights would go crazy, I knew then that the controller was smoked. Figured all was lost but I've been obsessing since I bought it for him on building and flying my own. So decided what the heck, I've stroked and nos'd a couple rides including dirt bikes, let's see what I can do with this thing..............................so let's see!!!!!!!!!


Challenge is to do better I'll have mine built around the 15th of January hopefully. I'll keep an eye on this thread, I do work 12 hours a day so replies will be limited, but I'll keep an eye out, and listen to all criticism and compliments if there are any after this crazy escapade.


THANX TO ALL

but.... 8 grams for the frame AND the battery? somebody better whip out the anti gravity matter.

If you stacked coins until you had a weight of 8 grams you'd end having to stack a dime on a quarter. I have a feeling what we have here is a metric conversion gone awry. Also grams are a unit of mass, so even without gravity that stack would still be 8 grams.

Looked up the WLToys manufacturers page to get some specs and they claim the v323 hexacopter weighs 1978 grams, which, in contrast to 8 grams seems a little on the high side for a 2s styrofoam brushed toy hex. maybe that's what the whole package weighs... though I doubt even that.

From appearances I would have guessed around 200 grams to be more realistic, which would also meet up nicely with a weight of 8 ounces (224g). That way a weight of 1978 grams without battery might just be a slip of the finger on the keyboard, turning 198 into 1978grams on the manufacturers page.

This cannot work... Considering a 2s 1600mAh battery weighs about 90 grams.

Now that we all agreed 8 grams will never come to be let's think about how this could be made to work.
I'd say this right here is a good starting point, given the motors and escs you specified.

All of the components, except the motor mounts are easily diy'ed from stuff you can get at your local hardware store and you can always leave your booms a iltte longer and use the zip-tie method or two sandwiched plates, like these to mount your motors.

You're still out a control board and radio gear now. I've The Naze32 seems to be eall the rage these days, though I haven't worked with it so far.

I don't think the Battery you have is going to supply enough power, so you'd need to upgrade at least to a 3s 2200 25c if you don't want to puff your old battery first (fire hazard!) and the upgrade to a 3s 2200..

Do you mean 8 ounces? That's a more reasonable goal.
