Quad My Next Quad

Very little room. Maybe 2.5mm. I've already got them soldered on and it looks ok to me. I guess I could have hid the wires a little better but this build is so small my nerves would need some professional help.

 

[Tony]

The only reason I would have done it is to keep the wires going with the arms. It will function the same, but would keep from upsetting my ocd lol.

 

[bigone5500]

Had to drill new holes in the camera mount. The original ones had the lens sticking out the front too far. Went back 2mm and made a new 2mm hole.

 

[Tony]

Nice. I seem to remember having to do this to one of mine as well.

 

[bigone5500]

Wire ties or silicone tape?

 

[Tony]

On one this small, I think the silicone tape would look best. If it's not too thick that is.

 

[bigone5500]

Rx mounted.

 

[Tony]

I think I would definitely run those motor wires under the board. Those wires are high frequency and could interfere with the receiver unless you mount it under the top plate. Probably won't cause an issue, but it has my spidey sense tingling.

 

[bigone5500]

I'm gonna have to see what happens with it mounted to the bottom plate. Mounting to the top plate is a no-go. The antenna wires would get chopped by the props.

 

[bigone5500]

Then there is this method. But this time I have no exit for my vtx antenna.

 

[Tony]

Why not put it under teh center of the top plate? Would be out of the way of everything. Again, It could never cause issues being near those motor wires, but I like to play it safe. Sometimes lol.

 

[bigone5500]

My stack will be too tall after the vtx comes in monday.

 

[bigone5500]

Is there a nano sized DSMX receiver? Something smaller than lemonrx?

 

[Tony]

Nothing that I would run or trust. And you could put it on the top...

 

[bigone5500]

This is turning out to be very tough to build.

 

[Tony]

Welcome to micro's lmao.

 

[bigone5500]

Few more photos this morning. I got the receiver, dvr, and battery cable soldered on. I am pleased to find out that the standoffs that came with the camera will be within 1/2mm from touching the top plate. This is good news for the vtx that I'll get tomorrow.

 

[Tony]

Man that thing is going to be heavy. Be sure to post up a weight when you are done.

 

[bigone5500]

So far.

 

[Tony]

put the props and prop nuts on it.
