Wake up! Time to fly!
Well back in early summer I started laying out and getting parts for a more realistic race quad then the heavy and more freestyle oriented Alien. I only had a frame and motors when I hit FFE17. The rest of the build was handed to me as I met others at FFE who knew what I wanted to build and contributed to the cause.
Thank you for all who were generous and thoughtful to do that even though my help and friendship does not come with a cost. I appreciate what you guys have done and graciously accept the help to pull this off. While not all of the donated parts made it into this particular build they will ALL at some point be used on other builds. I can not thank you guys enough. Just another amazing part of how this community really is.
AS busy as it was at FFE I did not get the chance to document the build process as my camera was off with other people on other missions but I do have pics of the various stages of final assembly here at the house as well as one of the truly scary maiden attempts where I made a classic new builder mistake.
All up weight with the Grpahene 1300 pack is 502 g with a tattu 1300 75c normal pack it is 486 ish? Once its tuned and I am used to the faster speed it will be getting a 5s battery for full on speed runs and racing.
The noob mistake I made was mounting the FC facing aft and not telling the FC it was facing aft. Made for a very clean build but some VERY scary maiden attempts as you will see. Luckily no one was hurt and no damage other then exploding props everywhere and the way I did the battery connection worked perfectly for a no stress battery ejection on a crash.
