Summary:
A challenging build, not for a first timer. With all unique quads like this, it helps if you have had a go at easier builds. The frame is stunning without a doubt. The motors on this are fast and this craft is built for speed. Haydn has come up with a brilliant design, that oozes engineering. There are many options of how to set up the electronics, I chose to pack them in to protect them.

I found the bolts in certain strengthening sections hard to fit, but i have sausage fingers:) This is a strong build and it will be good to see how it survives the IBM factory in Greenock(it takes no prisoners).

I chose 20A Afro esc,s for this and they are big, so a tight squeeze, hence my choice for a power distribution board, extra power cable run off on a JST for telemetry/buzzer.

The balance of the quad is excellent. I have chosen battery on top and c of g is perfect. I still have to FPV this and have a few tweaks with positioning of the FPV gear, but all in all I am pleased with the way it has turned out.

Now for the video, after some shooting with Cameron:)

Nice camo, I am sure no one will see you.

Quad looks interesting too.

Looking forward to the maiden vid.

That quad looks awesome! I love the shape of it and I like how the PDB board "cleans things up". I may just order a board for my quad. The esc wires are a disaster. Cool build, Graham!!!

Wasn't happy with the build so i stripped it down and started again:) Made a bullet harness and for a change copied HK design on one off a picture.

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Sun Jul 05, 2015 12:12 pm

Harness is a bit bulky but with 20A ESC,s its hard not to have the bulk:)
