ZMR 250 in fiberglass has shipped from Bang good. FlySky TH9X will be here Wednesday. I plan on using Afro 12's, a Naze 32 fcb, dys 1806's.

The plan it to get it built and in the air. Then I will add video.
 
The Naze should arrive today. I have ordered motors and props. The Afro 12 esc's are still on back order.
 
Well the Afro Naze32 arrived

Unfortunately the break out cable wasn't included. So it is ordered.
 
Nobody has Afro 12's in stock, it is a good thing, I don't have cash for them right now.
 
Got an abusemark PDB. It is the same size as my Afro Naze32.

Yes my joints are bad, I wanted to test the PDB with some LED strings. I will be getting a new soldering iron before soldering the connectors on my Afro Naze32
 
I found these ESC;'s on ebay and I had a 17 dollar Ebay Bucks certificate... So I pulled the trigger

Airframe came last night. ESC's should be her today or tomorrow. I assembled the airframe and tore one of the rubber balls for the mobius mount.

My ESC's came today and were installed. The problem is the 12 Gague Battery lead wire. I don't have 14 gague to make a propper battery lead. I also need to get M3 standoffs.
 
Can't just take the wires from the ESCs to the PDB and then the one from the deans and connect it? From the pic it appears you have everything.

Well I had to re-soldier the motor on one ESC. I didn't cross them and it needed to be crossed. All 4 ESC's work and motors spin as they should.

The next step is to solder the pins to the Naze32 and mount it.

I haven't balanced it. Esc's were synced in Clean Flight. It is gusts to 18 mph today it got tossed around. The battery is a 4S 2200 way too big debating a 1800 or a 1600
 
If you get two small batteries it is better than one big battery, as you can swap them out and have the weight benefit.
 
Sounds good, when ever you can you should try to get known brand lipos whenever possible, but like with anything budget is the determining factor :)
