![]() How stable is the machine and how resistant to mild wind?Īlso can the board take more current than you are presently using so that more powerful motors can be used with larger props and a consequent increase in payload.īest Wishes and kind regards Ted Robinson Cheshire UK Have you yourself had to work out the program for the machine also how did you come across this module and what information have you obtained from Mike Dammar? You have bought this module from Mike Dammar, made the frame with the motors but WHAT THEN IS REQUIRED! as the machine I have has to be programmed with the required firmware and software. Hello, Old man Mike from Old man Ted in the UKĪll I have ever wanted has been such a machine as you so vividly demonstrate.Īs you know there are many machines of a similar nature "doing the rounds" and I have a kit for such a machine ie the XUFO german designed quadrocopter complete with the latest X*ACC module which apparently will improve stability when I finally persuade my colleague to finish off the kit. It is something special that he is making available to experimenters who wish to build a custom quad copter (if there is enough interest). Qty 1 Dammar Brushless PWB - $ 375 ( )ĭammar does not list this board on his Spectrolutions website. I assume you are asking about the special Brushless PWB I used: Props Installation and Motor Mounting NotesĪlternate 2409-18 Motors with 12A Pulsar ESCs Here is an index to this thread showing more details: Note that one of the data points is a 9 minute flight with a 1320 mAh battery carrying a 8 ounce payload including my Panasonic Video/Still camera and foam mount (30 ounce flying weight).Īlternative mounting approach for the "Gold" version of the -09 motor: I also included a power chart which might be a little difficult to read with the two axis. The pictures below should give you a rough idea of how it is constructed. 050”), 4-40 screws/nuts, Alum 1” square tubing, Velcro - $12 Qty 2 EPP1045 10x4.5 Props (Set of 2 counter rotating) - $8 Qty 2 8mm Carbon Fiber Square Tubing - $19 Qty 4 TP2410-09 Brushless Outrunner with mount - $26 ![]() Qty 1 Dammar Brushless PWB - $ 375 ( new release: $399) ( ) Note that the controller board includes a Thermal Intelligence module to help keep the unit level. I had no problem flying it inside my 10’ x 10’ room loaded as a 60+ ounce system (that is more than 2 lbs of payload!)ĥ) Flying is much smoother and more stable than the smaller frame quads I have flown. Maximum lift for the 1000mm DF is over 70 ounces. No plastic parts to break.Ĥ) Outrunner Motors cost less than $7 with the mounts and have a maximum power rating of over 100 watts. Very easy to repair since no holes are drilled in the carbon fiber tubes and aluminum screw clamping is used. A two min test flying outside with a 30 ounce system (8.1 ounce payload with 3.1 ounce battery) averaged 88 watts.ģ) Very resistance to crash damage with the mix of aluminum and two 1000 mm carbon fiber square tubes. I set it for a 650mm spacing (325mm from prop center to platform center) as shown in the photo which prevents the props from hitting the ground at any angle up to 90 degrees.Ģ) Weight 18.8 oz without battery. The total cost of approximately $500 (plus a little time with a Dremel tool) provides the following:ġ) Adjustable motor to motor spacing from 370mm to 995mm. The platform with motors and ESCs for the 1000mm Quad Copter shown can be built for approximately $125. The Controller PWB is a brushless redesign by the designer (Mike Dammar) of the Draganflyer Quad Copter. I would like to present my 1000mm Quad Copter design based on a newly available $375 Controller PWB.
