******************************* http://carancho.com/AeroQuad/forum/index.php?topic=160.msg1479#msg1479 I agree too, looks very nice. When I was about to make mine HobbyKing didn’t had any Woven carbon Fibers left in stock, so I ended up using Plexiglass which is heavier and less strong for my quad. I would like to point something out here about HobyKing carbon fiber square cubes. They […]
READ MORE »Building a Quadrotor – Propeller selection
No you can’t. There are no pusher propellers (counter rotating propellers) which you can match with these on HobbyKing. You need similar clockwise and counter clockwise rotating props. There is EPP1045 which is not as good as APC 1047 but a bit cheaper (reported to break or bend during flights) On HobbyKing there are these […]
READ MORE »Building a quadrotor – using Wii MotionPlus as gyro
Hi, Due to some recent posts about using Wii motion plus sensors ( http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiimote/Extension_Controllers ) I got enough motivation to buy one from DealExtreme for 15.03$. I received them some days ago. Opened them and noticed it is not using the IDG600 (X&Y) and Epson (Z) gyros anymore, but it uses IDG650 (X&Y) and ISZ650 (Z). […]
READ MORE »Model radio transmitters and HobbyKing 6 Channel transmitter guide
I believe making a PC based RX/TX is pretty inefficient as you would get used to the controls on a real TX device much sooner than a PC keyboard, so take my advice and buy one. There are two common modes for model airplane/helicopter radio transmitters. The main difference is that the mode 2 transmitters have […]
READ MORE »Building a Quadrotor – Master thesis
Here you can find the abstract and first pages of my thesis. It is about a Quadrotor which I earlier started to post about. This robot got me the highest score for my thesis and the robot was sold to the Qazvin Azad University only covering the expenses and nothing more and University demands to […]
READ MORE »Building a Quadrotor – Frame design
The frame of this quad rotor is made out of Carbon fiber. First I thought of using two of them in parallel to give it more strength, but then as I saw other project and based on the experiments I did I found it safe to start with only one and then increase to two just […]
READ MORE »Building a Quadrotor- Be careful!!
Please read here before you start your motors. BLDCs are powerful and propellers are strong and once they come attached together they make an extremely dangerous thing to work with. They can cut you deep for the number of times that it takes propellers to stop. Look at an example over here (Warning harmful pictures […]
