Description
- Redesigned for 10 mm round wooden arms as this size was very easily available.
- Battery is held in place with wide zip-ties.
- Arms extend to center of the design.
- Uses Hobby King motors.
Here is my whole Hobby King order-list - just in case someone likes to have similar setup. With these components it seems to fly fairly well. Propellers should be 2 x push and 2 x pull but when I ordered these HK didn't have push propellers in stock.
4x #TR_P18A/4312 TURNIGY Plush 18amp Speed Controller = $47.60
1x #TR_PC/2169 TURNIGY BESC Programming Card = $6.95
1x #OR019-00501-3/8240 Prop Saver w/ Band 3mm (10pcs) = $2.86
1x #T2200.3S.20/8932 Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack = $8.49
4x #AX-2213N/8622 2213N 800Kv Brushless motor for AXN Floater-Jet = $29.44
3x #HK401B/10113 Hobby King 401B AVCS Digital Head Lock Gyro = $35.97
1x #GWS-RD-1047/10055 GWS EP Propeller (RD-1047 254x119mm) (6pcs/set) = $4.82
1x #RBand-21M/11761 Spare Rubber Ring for Prop Saver (10pcs) = $0.99
(optional: "Open Source upgradable frequency hopping transmitter":
1x #TX-9X-M1/8991 Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter w/ Module & 8ch Receiver (Mode 1) (v2 Firmware) = $53.79)
You need also KKmulticopter controller-board or something similar to keep the thing balanced.

I think hobbyKing sell their verson of the KKmulticopter flightcontroller (or at least a clone.... )
it's only 25 ish USD and should work as god as the KKmulticopter one (for those on a tight budget).
personally I buy my kkmulticopter controllers directly from their website, or from one of their official resellers.
A quick question about the fram, do the wooden arms wobble around? I've only built in aluminium, but I'm looking around for alternatives (I recon wood is ligher than aluminium :-P)
Great work, the centerpice looks awsome :D
Thanks :) I didn't know that HK sells also KKMulticopter boards (or clones) - I also ordered mine directly from KKMulticopter website.
About the wobble - yes they seem to wobble a bit. But after one hard crash one of my motor shafts bent a bit. This produces quite a bit wobble - I have to replace that motor ASAP to get this thing flying again.
As Mjolnir said, those carbon fiber arrow shafts (http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
31) could be very light. But I think I'll first learn to fly better - wood is so cheap and easily replacable that I use it during my learning period :)
I saw one where the guy had built the arms out of carbon-fiber arrow shafts, bought from the sporting goods section at the local Wal-Mart.
