[OneLittleThe]

@jacquesone100

Thx...I wanna try to build a Quadcopter...but i duno where i should start...! :(

[womackke]

Are your motors the 355 wattt ones? also do you think I could benefit by using a lower kv motor like 900 kv 700 watt with 50amp esc? seems like 1100 is a little fast and might be a little harder to control..Im just trying to get all my info strait before i place the big order. Thanks jacques

[jacquesone100]

@womackke 900 kv/50 amp ESC's sure man that will do..+ 10x3.8 slowflyer props :)

good luck

let me know how it goes!

Jacques

[womackke]

also I saw you said you used 30amp esc, but you are thinking maybe 50 would be better, are the 30s getting hot? would 50esc x 4= 200 amps wouldnt that be a heavy a load for the battery? its probobly not im just wondering...before i order my esc's

[jacquesone100]

@womackke its that..ives seen readings from my watt meter..going over 30 amps sometimes with 10 inch props...its ok if u dont exceed 30 amps to many times but to keep ur esc at a cooler temp i think its better to use 40 to 50 amp speed controllers when using 10inch props...and just use a big enough 3 cell like 3000mah and ull be ok..

hope this helped u out...if not....ask more :)

good luck

Jacques

[jacquesone100]

@womackke and its 4 x50 yes but that would be full throttle with 12 inch props!! sending ur quad to the moon! hehe 40 to 50 is just to be safe :)

[womackke]

so there is no need for any flight control board or any programming firmware bs? just a gu344 as a brain?.....Why would anyone use a programming board?

[jacquesone100]

@womackke people use programming boarda for boards that need programming..

this Gaui GU344 just needs to be initialized the first time and thats it no programming what soever...and it has 1 pot to turn to adjust its sensitivity..

its a real cool board to start out with to learn to fly without to much hassle :)

thx for watching

Jacques

[womackke]

@jacquesone100 i dont know if you have tried it but would you recomend this over the fy91q? also are you using the, or is there a way to switch from hover to cruise and adjust sensitivity in mid flight from the Tx?

[dngrdave2000]

Awesome!



[jacquesone100]

@dngrdave2000 thx dave!!

[NickeyK1107]

how much did it cost u?!?!?!?!?!

[jacquesone100]

@NickeyK1107 arround 250 bucks all togeter motors,gyro,esc

[babanachiket]

just make a cross, put a gyro, connect a bunch of wires and there you go !!! you can do it !! now you also know how to program it. !!!

[jacquesone100]

@babanachiket when using a Gaui GU 344 there is allmost no programing it ...only 1 little knob(screw) u can adjust....so yes a cross ..a bunnch of wires and there u go!...

hehe...if u need more info on anything just ask me :)

thx for watching man

[SgtBurned]

@jacquesone100 I need help on what to buy e.g What Motors, What Battery(s) to buy etc. Could you help? Ive got the frame planned out. I'm Choosing to use Aluminum Square Rods.

[Hobby331]

Great info thanks.

[Gezelem2002]

Hey where did you buy the GU-344 gyro and your parts? Nice build. I want to build one.....

[tronics666]

That was very informative! I think I could build one just from watching your video. Thanks!

[jacquesone100]

@tronics666 welcome :)

[25makif]

hey ... this was a really nice review .. but what about the controller .... need some guidance on that ... and wanted more details about how to connect the whole system of the gyro and speed controllers and receiver and the motors and all ...

[Bojanpzs1]

It's easy to make, but give me 400-500$ for the parts! :/

[nightbeezer]

Ok, I got the point, I'll make a cross :D

[lemorlenny]

It fly very well :).

[WiriamuFirippu]

pretty sweet man! thanks.. lots of questions answered

[jacquesone100]

There the ones used in ceilings...no i did not drill the holes for the tubes..

for the esc leads and such i did drill holes in the side...

good luck

[pinzgauernorcal]

i cant find a junction box like that one did you drill the holes ??? thanks!!

[pinzgauernorcal]

whats the KV on those motors?

[jacquesone100]

@pinzgauernorcal hi there..yes ibelieve its 1/2 inch and them motos are 1100 kv

thx for watching !

[pinzgauernorcal]

is that 1/2 inch plastic tube ?

[burghoorn]

Hey Jac, fantastic review .. made me think of building one for myself. But what about that 3-axis gyro ? Can I buy the one you use separately ? Cannot find it on the web. Seems like I have to get the Gaui model first :-( Separate ones are f*kking duur.

What is your opinion about this -> ***.youtube.com/watch?v=5tS-Md­L4rwI

They use three el-cheapo HK gyro's ...

(Kijk even bij weeweewee dot quadframe dot kom)

[jacquesone100]

@burghoorn hee man srry voor late reply...ja die gyro kun je los kopen....

of je het met 3 losse gyros kan doen dat weet ik niet..kan ik niks over zeggen

succes man
