![]() I also have 4 of these on order to keep the stock landing gear which I am a very large fan of. It is difficult to spin a few but not enough to my liking. I will be getting some replacement steel hardware soon as I cannot even clamp my arm tubes tight enough to not spin by hand. I will say I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the hardware (Screws mainly) as the heads stripped out extremely easily. I will be keeping it at the stock 850mm but will be transferring all my guts on my quanum to this Well I am stoked to say I got this frame in and cannot wait to build on it. I have yet to maiden at 6s, but 4s flew just fine. I had originally configured this for 4s, 5008 335 motors, but there just wasn't enough power to my liking, so just converted to 6s. If you are thinking about building this frame, make absolutely sure you ask Dan for his 3d printed parts for the arms, to make sure the motors and arms don't twist. High quality, and you can get either high gloss or matt finish. There is loads of room on this thing, so even if it isn't extended, its a big hex.įrame is here from one of the vendors on this site: I put a battery tray underneath to hold 2x10K 6s batteries nicely, and plan on mounting a Tiny 2 Z-1 gimbal and Yi II 4k video camera with it, under the battery tray. The arms collapse nicely as shown, so actually doesn't take up much space when you store it. ![]() Since its extended, it's a whole lot bigger than the pictures show. We both came from a Hobby King 680UC(great frame) and saw this one on-line. ![]() Thanks to RC_Danny for some guidance - I built the same Hex. It came down quicker and harder than I would have liked, but thankfully sustained no damage. Luckily I've got a ton of lift and was able to put it into a hard spin full throttle and got it to the ground safely. did a punch out, let off the throttle, the momentum and weight of the props spun two of them right off. ****** WARNING: DO NOT USE QUICK DISCONNECT PROP ADAPTERS WITH LARGE PROPS!!!!!!! ***** I've included some photos, and I will add more photos and info along with STL 3D printer files of my mods as time goes on. It flies great with stock PIDs, and with a bit of tuning it's even better, very solid, agile, super easy to fly. The end caps are for visual orientation and so it can be stood on end (suggested by quad808) without damaging the motors. It's a bit difficult to see in some of the photos, but there are blocks on both ends of the arms inside the mounting hardware with 3mm bolts that go straight through keeping everything aligned and true. This beast has a TON of power and I wanted to make sure the arms wouldn't have any chance of twisting so I made the red, green, and black blocks (3D printed) which has worked out extremely well. Landing Gear: Foxtech V3 Pivot (love love love these) Power Board: Super Hungry Board (I burned up lesser PDBs) ZD850 Extended to 1200mm - Affectionately know as "The Beast V2"įC: Pixhawk 2.4.8 (redundant power supplied via PM/BEC and a 2nd BEC to Aux1) I've been having so much fun flying that I haven't had a chance to do a straight hover test to determine flight time, I will update this post once I do. I started out with a 16,000mAh battery, but I actually had a little too much lift and needed to add a bit of weight so I increased the battery size to twin 10K 6S for a total of 20,000mAh. and I "think" I'm finally satisfied with the results. I recently purchased and built a ZD850 hexacopter frame and decided to create a thread to share info with others who are doing the same.
