What did the postman bring today?

[rsmith21]

My first FPV gear, Black Pearl screen and Immersion 25Mw VTX, all tested and working, fitted my home made antennas and what a difference they are to the stock ones even at close range you can see how much better they are.

Thanks to the guys at BYOD

Quanum v2 addon kit and some printed parts for my new Yi camera.  I';m amazed at the turnaround and quality of print from Phil at makeitbuildit.co.uk.  Ordered yesterday morning, arrived today.  Stellar service  ::)

Some really nice injection molded Diatone ZMR 250 landing gear/motor protectors (not that 3d printed crap) from BangGood



Fitted


Bargain at £1.39 a pair

I received a god of the sky, war and hunting, in a very sturdy metal case.

Thought I';d try these for a budget build I';m doing for a mate.  Sooo dinky..

This will be sweeet ! where did you get the frame? really wanna build a 5" sub 200mm quad  :evil

[Cheredanine]

I got it from quadquestions.com, they manufacture it, but there are some other resellers

[nate80]

Not exactly a spare part and something a bit different, but just been delivered this.

It';s my first go at Airplanes.  Should be a bit of fun!

[zeronest]

Got these today. 1000mah 4s 25-50c


I guess its only an extra 150mah but was suprised they only weigh 5g more than the 850mah 4s I was using.. They';re not as bulky as the 850s either.

Mini tri is here from Rc-explorer finally! I forgot they celebrate Ascension day over there in that Europe so was delayed by a couple of days - pics later :)

Also - Aluminium arm frame set and some spare CF ones for my acro quad - now thinking about doing a super lightweight build with the CF frame and transferring the 2204 motors to the aluminium armed frame - should help with crash impact.

[Bad Raven]

Put elsewhere here due history of interest, but I have just received two Diatone ET 160 frames, and the base frame of 2mm (actually 1.98mm) of the first two I bought has been changed to 2.65mm (actually 2.57 to 2.78).

Looks considerably thicker than the dimensions suggest.

I bought two as I was going to do an extreme one and would have bonded the two bases together, now I';m undecided!!  Maybe I';ll strip the bigger motored 2mm one, bond one of each base size an so and make it 4.65mm.!!

Trying 4 of these for my new build, tiny for 30amp

My mate is running these on his F1-5. Solid performance and reliable, enjoy

Very near the top of the heap (assuming they are the new f390 chip ones)

No just F330, but doubt I would notice the difference.

You can never have too many props, enough enough or not enough :)

Interested in if you notice any difference with the triumph

[nub]

that reminds me those DAL TJ4045 tri';s were guff!

[Cheredanine]

that reminds me those DAL TJ4045 tri';s were guff!

Lol several people here swear by them, never tried them but the t5045 tris work fine, just a little too indestructible, crashes were starting to damage he motor, switched back to hq since cheaper and easier to change a broken prop than a motor

[nub]

there';s hardly any surface on the blade, not sure why but they don';t look quite right to me, when you look at the TJ5045 and 5045BN, then look at the TJ4045 and 4045BN, the TJ4045 blade looks skinnier than it should be IMHO, i mean great for flight time but otherwise no good.

not sure if i';m describing it right

[Cheredanine]

Yeah the blade on the t5045 tri is much bigger, even than hq and genfam

[Hozza]

Not flown a plane in 25 years time to start me thinks.

So you went for it! Nice, let me know how you get on please, particularly how much current and on what props, cheers dude 

For reference, my 2206-2300';s draw 21-22A with the T5045 tri v2 props and 30A on HQ6045.
