xsu220 drone frame skins

myminifactory

This is a design built on the xsu-220 racing frame from amazon. I dont know how poular it was but its still available and great for a budget build. The frame is $25 and the motors are $30 for a whole set. The purpose for this build was long range, low light visibility, autonomous flight and return to home. The design is generic to fit most full stacks (esc/fc/vtx) with only one hole for connecting a data cable to the fc. If your fc has it on the other side mirror it in your slicer. The parts I used in this build are a tekko32 esc, kakute f7 fc, panda 800mw vtx, amazon spy cam cube, caddx ratel 2 camera, and a beitian-880 gps. The motors are very inexpensive, theres a link to them below. You can use whatever motors you want but the skids fit motors that have a rim below the bell such as the racerstar 2207. The beitian-880 gps module was chosen because it has a compass which helps with autonomous flight. The kakute fc is one of the toughest flight controllers ove flown. It was used in the speedybee build Ive shared which is my main basher. This flight controller is inav compatible which is where the gps is supposed to really shine. The main cam is a cadex ratel but should fit most regular size cams. Wont fit the ant cam. The motor skirts on this frame are different. They go between the frame and the motor instead of on the bottom and they hang down over the frame. This is a bottom mount battery so there isnt as much need for skids. The top camera is kind of a joke but I want to see if it works for night flight. It might be able to highlight ghostbranches. Its one of those $20 amazon spy cube cameras with the ir leds. The idea is to have to top cam also be a headlight and these cheap cams are much lighter than even a runcam thumb. I am designing other mounts for gopro and runcam thumb. The tpu holds the cube cam in place and allows access to charge port and sd card. Fully encased with a fin on top for impacts. next to the base of the fin are cutouts that let you still use the buttons on the cube cam. motors https://www.amazon.com/FEICHAO-Brushless-Multirotor-Quadcopter-Robotcat/dp/B088K82Q46/ref=sr_1_28?crid=1QZ4CERLZGMNW&keywords=2206+brushless+motor&qid=1667238135&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjU0IiwicXNhIjoiNC4wOCIsInFzcCI6IjMuNDEifQ%3D%3D&s=toys-and-games&sprefix=2206%2Ctoys-and-games%2C254&sr=1-28 frame amazon.com/Usmile-XSU220-Quadcopter-Freestyle-Martian/dp/B0758HZP7F?th=1
