I have an S500 frame - in addition to the flimsy standard landing legs, I'd also add that there really isn't a whole lot of real estate for your 'stuff'. Once you've installed your chosen FC midship on the frame, and your receiver, you're going to have to be either selective when choosing other...

The gimbal you reference looks very much like the stock gimbal that shipped with the XK Innovations X380 quad… if it is indeed similar, I'd be a little wary of the mounting plates - they're made from a hard plastic - it doesn't take much of a hit to cause them to crack/break in a crash (ask me...

Metric or Imperial?!? ;) That's what I mean - it's a tad/fraction/sliver/gnat's hair over 1" between adjacent props. I'll let you know if they fit - if Banggood ever actually deliver (ordered 27th Feb with tracking info paid for/requested… nothing here yet, despite frequent "conversations" with...

I've got some 1045 props currently on order from Banggood - based on recent experience, they should arrive sometime ~never~, but looking at the S550 frame, I'm not even sure whether 10" props will actually fit without colliding with each other (if they do, it's gonna be close!) ESC's are the...

Thanks - it was the S500 quadcopter frame that struggled with the weight - and (I suspect) for several reasons: 1) The sheer weight! There was lots! 2) 9" props 3) just 4x 2212 motors 4) 3S battery… 5) My 3S batteries were discharging at only 10C! (I ~may~ have overlooked that somewhat...

Well, I re-built the S500 frame a few weeks back, together with a cheap Banggood gimbal that I ordered. I replaced the CC3D controller with a CC3D Revolution board, and took her out for a maiden "flight". All was ~OK~ - the motors, ESC's, FC all behaved as expected, but I fear the increased...

So, I have to ask... What DO you have this funky appliance for? Not just for the amusement of members on a quadcopter forum, surely?!?

It's also the best substance known to man for removing icky kids' finger prints from stainless steel kitchen appliances (and makes the kitchen smell 'more manly'!), but I ~may~ be digressing somewhat… let me know if I'm not helping! ;)

Lol! Would today's date have anything to do with that story?!?

I'm here merely to reiterate what others have already said. I wasn't familiar with these things either until a few weeks ago, but was introduced to them/encouraged to use them by users on this forum. Forget a quad - I won't even drive an R/C car without first attaching one of these things now…...

Or you could look at this too: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__66873__S500_FR4_Glass_Fiber_Quad_Copter_480mm_PNF_Combo.html (I bought one of these, but when I add the battery & camera gimbal, things get a little heavy to fly, so I'm in the process of waiting on my new frame, extra...

XK380, in one of it's several guises? (If you go this route, be sure to research calibrating the compass correctly before flying it. Follow the procedures, and she'll fly like a charm. ignore at your peril! ;))

I'd be willing to setup a warehouse in Ontario, Canada for Banggood if needbe - seems like the easiest job in the world: Accept payment from client. Promise to ship stuff to client. Don't. Where do I sign up?!?

Lol! (Sat here, quietly "celebrating" the 1 month anniversary of my first ever orders with Banggood. It would be nice if the deliveries might actually have made it here to appreciate and participate in the festivities, but alas, they are still 'en route'. Apparently. I hope.)

hobbyking. :confused:

IMO opinion, they USED to be phenomenal… I've been buying brushless motors, ESCs, 4-channel Tx/Rx and 2s LiPo's from them (for R/C cars) since early 2010, and both their pricing and their service were phenomenal. But, out of the three orders I have received from HK this year: Order# 1: XK X380...
