9" Macro Quad

thingiverse

My take on a long range 9" quad. The quad is inspired by the amazing micro long range designs of dave_c. But this one is larger (about 400mm) I used 3 Thicknesses for the carbon plates: 5mm for the arms 3mm for the base Plate and the upper plate 1.5mm for the top plate The quad is designed for 30.5mm Flight controllers-. The GPS can be mounted to one of the arms. I have designed the arms to take 2 sizes of GPS. Either the small one from Team Black sheep of one size larger. All screws are 3mm aluminium screws Battery: 3s or 4s 4000mAH Lipo or equivalent To evenly distribute the forces of the arms I used a crankshaft chainwheel screw. This is inspired by the dave_c designs https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32827184341.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dXXoKdx Motors: Xing 2806 https://shop.iflight-rc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1001 Props: 9" 3 blade from Team Black Sheep https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:hq_mq_953cw https://www.team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:hq_mq_953ccw Flight controller: Matek 405 For the Crossfire RX and the TBS Video Transmitter I used a Mamba board for nice cabling. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000744689319.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.6d563bf3Xrh1BI&algo_pvid=95ab9b7f-3a25-4667-9689-a6891f44d233&algo_expid=95ab9b7f-3a25-4667-9689-a6891f44d233-6&btsid=0bb0600116073631668862601e5f1e&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ Speed controller: I choose speed controllers to be mounted on the arms for easy replacement (search for slim esc 40A). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000388112482.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.16b1344aHUT8cx&algo_pvid=3493256b-7438-4dd8-82a2-a6bbe1c4e2e5&algo_expid=3493256b-7438-4dd8-82a2-a6bbe1c4e2e5-14&btsid=0bb0622e16073630526472591e9fd4&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
