thingiverse

This is a revised version of the FireFly design and an alternative frame for the Blade NanoQX, which also accommodates FPV. It is compatible with both the original NQX camera and the additional Spektrum Micro Camera. The frame is available in configurations for 6mm, 7mm, and 8.5mm motors. To adjust the camera holder, you can simply heat it up slightly, but be cautious not to cause damage. This design boasts a diagonal measurement of approximately 110 mm (m2m) with dimensions of roughly 9 x 9 cm in length and width. The frame itself weighs between 6g and 7g. Several pre-tested setup configurations are compatible with this design, including: Motors: Various motor options are available for this frame, such as the ones from CopterCustoms Group. Here are some examples of motors that can be used: For 6mm motors: * micro-motor-warehouse.com: CL-0615-11 or CL-0615-14 Standard NanoQX motors For 7mm motors: * micro-motor-warehouse.com: CL-0720-12 or CL-0720-14 Standard Hubsan x4 H107L motors For 8.5mm motors: * micro-motor-warehouse.com: CL-0820-15 or CL-0820-17 Dark Edition Standard Hubsan x4 H107D, H107C motors Flight Control System: To achieve a proper fit, remove the motor plugs and solder the motors directly to the board. Compatible flight control options include: * NanoQx Board (Replace MOSFETs with 8.5mm motors) * NanoQx FPV Board * MicroMWC (Replace MOSFETs with 8.5mm motors) * SciSky (tested but not verified personally) Camera and Video Transmission Systems: * Compatible cameras include: + NanoQx FPV Camera + Spektrum Ultra Micro FPV CAM SPMVA1100 Self-made camera configurations can be found here: http://flitetest.com/articles/diy-micro-5-8ghz-fpv (Note that fitting this configuration may result in a bumblebee-like design rather than a Firefly) Additional Accessories: * Get the Bumblebee Backpack here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1134205 Rotor Blades: Compatible rotor blade options include: * Standard Hubsan x4 * Standard Revell Atomium Energy Sources: To achieve flight times of approximately 5-7 minutes, I recommend using batteries with a capacity of about 1s and a voltage of 3.7V (http://r.ebay.com/a1v5I0). You can secure these batteries with velcro straps, which come in a size of 10mm. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask!
