Finally pulled my finger out and built my Quad copter kit:
My Build:
- HobbyKing X525
- KK2 MultiRotor Controlboard
- 4x Turnigy Sk3 - 2826-1240kv
- 4x Plush 25amp ESC
- 4x 8x4 Propellers (Standard & Counter Rotating)
- HK Quad power distro board
- A stack of bullet connectors.
- 3s 2200 mAh Lipo
Went together quickly, most of the time was spent working how to run all the wiring. Doing everything 4 times did get a bit tedious, would hate to make an Octocopter!
First flight was surprisingly stable, the KK2 board display makes it piss easy to configure and tune. It was just released the other week and has capacity to be upgraded, upcoming features are auto stabilization and other cool nick nacks! Next step for me is to properly balance the props as I was too eager to fly so threw them on stock! Its a real testament to the board that its able to keep the thing stable whilst the frame is shaking itself to bits! Good thing I used loctite all round
