One of my HAM radio buddies is pretty heavy into RC copters and quads. He's planning to build his next (larger) quad from individual components, says it will cost much less than a pre-built RTF or ARF craft. I asked him to order two of everything and we'll get together to build them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
GPS, gyro stabilized pan/tilt camera gimbal, FPV, the whole she-bang (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) He recently attended a function where there was a lifting contest ... one gas-powered quad lifted a payload in excess of 50 lbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

Not to be a skeptic, but I'd love to hear what he builds for how much. Especially if he factors in any time at all. The Blades are great bang for buck. I know my time is worth more than building one from scratch. |

I know my time is worth more than building one from scratch. I used the following frame ($30) as a basis for my tri copter. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=28496 I replaced the motor mounts and tail servo mechanism with more robust versions. Without radio/chargers/shipping etc (ie just the tricopter) it's about $200. If you are starting from scratch (like me) and need radio/battery chargers etc, and include shipping from china, it was $450 with extra batteries/props. This method allows a lot more flexibility with the design. That could be good or bad. Also, the building/designing phase is also a fun part of the process for a lot of people. I just ordered some FPV goggles for my tricopter. |
