Quadcopter JK_Groß

I built a new DIY quadcopter frame after crashing my original quad one too many times. The design doesn't require support, but the frame parts are a bit tricky to work with. I flew it using a 4S 10000mAh Multistar battery from Hobbyking. The motors and ESCs come from a LD-Power LD 300 system; any other 10-inch motor setup should work just fine. My quadcopter weighs around 1.7kg, making it incredibly heavy but surprisingly stable due to its low profile design. It's also very fast. I used 15mm square aluminum tubing for the main frame and might test it with wood in the future. The frame parts are completely interchangeable, so you can simply drill another aluminum tube if you bend one. I drilled holes and loops for zip ties almost everywhere to secure my electronics. For the controller, I used a full-size Hobbyking KK2 board; any other board with 45mm holes should fit. I also printed an antenna mount for the FPV antenna and used an extension cable for the VTX. Because I only have one battery, I designed the bottom to screw on for added rigidity, making the battery permanently attached to the quad. However, I can fly it with a single battery for almost 45 minutes, and most of the time, it's not my only quad. So, I'll just say "have fun" – feel free to ask if you have any questions!
