Blue Dog V3 : Unibody Quadcopter

pinshape

Summary I designed this Quadcopter to be faster to assemble than other DIY kits. Here are its features: ARMS Four arms and main plate form a single structure, eliminating the need to bolt them together. Arms are designed for 3100KV motors with 5 MM shafts and M2 screws. Two pairs of slots allow cable ties to be routed through the arms. A maximum width of 40 MM accommodates up to six A ESCs. Arm thickness is 2 MM, supported by a 5 MM wide and 10 MM thick underskirt that adds rigidity while acting as a landing gear with wide load distribution. Main Plate The main plate measures 60 MM wide and 200 MM long, providing a flat surface for mounting Micro FPV cameras, VTX, FC, RX, and 2S batteries in the same plane. Eighteen M3 holes are evenly spaced across the body for attaching accessories. The outer holes form a 30.5 square for mounting CC3D boards. Horizontal slits allow wires and velcros to be routed through the main plate. A 5 MM wide and 10 MM thick underskirt adds rigidity to the 2 MM thick plate while acting as a landing skid. Accessories: A 10 Degree tilted FPV camera mount is included. A tail section allows an RX or its antenna to be added. This Quadcopter is designed for FPV beginners, not for speed. I aim to create something similar to the Blade 180 QX with the power of brushless motors. Instructions I have installed 3100KV motors with 2 MM bullet connectors. Six A ESCs will be used on this build. The arms/wings are warped slightly, more noticeably on the left side. I hope it won't affect flight performance too much.
