It's really a long thread, but just about anything and everything to do with the Syma X8 is here. From doing a brushless conversion(with links) to doing what you are talking about......using the guts on your own frame...

poop, Kid........you beat me to it............................well done, well done indeed!

That's a common misconception, Chuck. The 3 blade props are more stable, but much less efficient. You'll pay for that stability with flight time............

Oh.......and those ratings don't take into acc't that the motors will use more amps momentarily as they come up to speed............overcoming initial resistance from the props, motor weight etc..........

You don't say whether the battery is 3s or 4s. Also, your assumption of the motor load is a little off. Max is gonna be 10+ amps with a 5030 prop.

Hey Chuck............the motors should turn in the opposite direction that it takes to tighten your "caps". This is a "self tightening" feature. As for ESC to motor wiring........it doesn't really matter.........unless you got motor/motors that are turning in the wrong direction. In which...

Time has been in short supply and since Frankendrone is really time intense, I've put further work on hold until after fall. In the mean time I've been given FPV a try with a mini-brushed motor QX90c by Eachine. My first one the first FPV flight I "backed" it into a tree. Found it about 2...

Same basic setup I've been using a 7000mah 3S battery. My weight right now is a little over 1.5kg and my motors are 950kv. 30amp ESCs. Flight time is 20 to 25 minutes depending on the wind.

Well, I'm not Bill but that's ok, just don't call me late for dinner. I think you'll like that battery. With my original build, my total weight was right at 1600g. Depending on wind I was getting between 18 and 25 minutes.

I finally bought a set of goggles................even the big quads keep getting lost......................

Hey Rich.............. To date.............the Hubsan battery works very well indeed. During some test flights though, I have discovered some shortfalls. I lost my mind during a test flight and trashed out my gimbal. So.............upgrade time. New landing gear(got tired of unprotected...

Miss Hawaii sometimes, but never lost anything worthwhile in either of the Dakotas.

Ah ha.............a kindred spirit.........!

Uh............."Drones on Idiots"??

Well, kinda............but other then Maryland and Pennsylvania, you weren't really any place different. Now, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California in 56 hours. As far as places lived.............I grew up in a "traveling" family. As an adult...

Sure you could, Doc..........why stop now???

Y'all need to get out more......

Could have been worse, Yay...the fucker could have attacked you..... And yes, the commonalities that are taken for granted can, indeed, make for some interesting nightmares......

Hey Doc............I like it. I always figured once a question/problem/subject has been hashed out, one should be able to have some fun. I mean................that's why I play with quads/drones............I'm doing it for the fun............

OH, hell...........I thought you were doing spirograhs..................
