Now you have done this sanding, you should proceed to build the frame, start by screwing he top and bottom plates onto a single arm and tightening, This holds everything in place, continue screwing in the other arms making sure the two red arms are attached on the broad side of the rectangular shaped plates. Firstly you will notice on each corner on both plates there are two slots, they are for the slot in landing gear, you must take the sandpaper and sand those holes to be much wider and longer, use one of the legs to test the holes and make sure you sand enough. The frame arms have two holes in either end, when you get the two center plates, the plate with a star design cut into it is the top plate and the thicker plate is the bottom plate. As i said in the video DO not use the included motor mounts, they cause far to much vibration, rather mount the motors directly to the aluminum arms using the two screws provided which offer more than enough strength. You assemble the frame first because all the electronics are attached according to the frame. Once the above is done, take out the frame and assemble it!. APM 2.5 flight controller board MAvlink for telemetry (not required) Ublox GPS YOu may have to source this elsewhere ( buy some 2cm wide clothing elastic at least 2 meters The videos will be posted in step 2, step 3 and later will be text based.īy Jared Reabow So once you have bought everything, the very first thing you should do is wait for it to arrive :) once it has arrived check you have everything as building then finding you forgot something will be annoying. sandpaper (Radio) Turnigy 9xr Frysky Jr module with telemetry RX 2 x frsky voltmeters (note i am referring to small meters that are less than $5 each they have a red and black wire coming off each end with a servo plug on one end) Male to male servo plugs x 18 Male to female extension leads (any length) x 10 stickyback velcro 4x 2200MAH 3s battery or any 2 battery combination that totals at least 8000MAH (these should be bought from, they are available at hobbking but do not include some of the extras. 8 x 12x4.7 props 4 clockwise 4 counter clockwise (order spares!) 8 x 850/750/700 kv outrunner motors bell type lots of various sized shrink tubing. 20pais of xt60 battery cnnectors 6 meters of silicone wire- 3 meters red - 3 meters black 26swg which is 3mm thick or more. 30 bullet connector pairs 2.5mill or higher. But firstly the things you will need to build your own multirotor (note if it says 8x somthing, simply remove however many for the type of copter you are building, so a hex would be 6x) Note that EVERYTHING you need can be bought from simply search for the items described below All required parts are listed below and are to be bought on 2cm or smaller rubber bands 3mm wire Hot glue gun and hot glue Soldering Iron Allen key set!!!!! hobbking x930 frame 1 x 7a UBEC 8 x 30Amp esc's any make or brand, just make sure they are 30Amp not 25 with 30burst. Now before people plinky plonk on their keyboards "This is an Octocopter why is the title not Octocopter!!!!!" Understand you could build a Quadcopter - Hexacopter or quadcopter using this tutorial using identical parts, Even the Octocopter frame can be easily used for the 3 configurations by simply not fitting some arms :) Also if you wish to use my instructable for profit making, just messege me and i will be more than happy to change the licence after chat :) So lets get to it !!!! I have made videos on doing everything but will also type out the relevant info.
