This design is often preferred as the arms are very cheap to replace in the event of a crash. (To date) Another recommended frame, Rusty's Frame, is a carbon fiber center frame relying on Trex 450 tail booms as arms.
At $73 it is the most affordable complete pre-fab frame available. I chose the MikroKopter 500mm frame primarily due to price. I personally decided on a pre-fab frame as I lack the skills, tools, and time to design a custom frame. There are many frames available for your build, from pre-fab to do-it-yourself. Right now, I plan to mount the aluminum plate above the MikroKopter frame's center plate and under mount the QP board on the aluminum plate. I plan to fabricate a mounting plate out of aluminum from the local hobby shop (LHS) for the QP board.

The following is a list that I have compiled of parts that I intend to use for the build. The QuadPowered board claims to be "Plug 'n Play" requiring very little tweaking. Quadrocopter and Tricopter Info Mega Link IndexĪfter reading through many designs, I have decided to build a quadcopter using the QuadPowered circuit board as I wanted as basic a build as possible with as many options as available.
THE SMOOZE CCG UPDATE
I will update the build thread with this information as soon as it becomes available. It is my understanding that the QuadPowered guys will soon be releasing detailed build instructions in the Docs section of the QuadPowered website. As a novice builder, before you begin your build, I suggest reading about each build design and follow build threads on this forum from the first post to the last. RCgroups member Jesolins has compiled an invaluable list of designs, material suppliers, builder threads, and more in a Mega Link Index linked below. Many resources are available to prospective quadcopter builders. Control of vehicle motion can be achieved by varying the relative speed of each rotor to change the thrust and torque produced by each. They can also be classified as helicopters, though unlike standard helicopters, quadrotors are able to use fixed-pitch blades, whose angle of attack does not vary as the blades rotate. Quadrotors are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is derived from four rotors. I will attempt to catalog the build as I go so that other inexperienced builders will have something to reference.īefore I get started, many thanks to Old Man Mike (OMM), S11D336B, Signguy, Reverendrichie, Jesolins, and others for their informative threads and builds.Ī quadrotor, also called a quadrotor helicopter, is an aircraft that is lifted and propelled by four rotors.
I have been following various threads on here for the last month or so and have been inspired to attempt my first RC build, a quadcopter.
