RC-Hangout

Here is my latest mini.
It's going to be 4s, but while I'm waiting for the batteries, I stuck a set of 6040 dal props on it.
These will be cut down to 5040 bullnose, once the 4s arrive.

Any close ups of the wiring:)

looking good Lee.
I see there is a new version with 4mm arms and PDB.

Here you go Graham.
I did have one issue with the PDB. The 12V out wouldn't let me run my FPV gear.
Couldn't get a picture.
Plugged it straight into a battery, and worked perfectly.
So i tried the pins ment for LEDs and it worked perfectly too. So I left them there.
Means I can switch my FPV gear on and off if i want
You can buy the PDB from banggood or myrcmart for about $10.
It has solder points for the Nase and the CC3D to directly mount to the board.

Brilliant Lee:) just what i needed:) i am waiting delivery of the BEC,s:)

I run my RX off the 5V output from the PDB.

Thats my plan:) I am going to put it on the Volt:) I have soldered a new acro naze with the pins in towards the board like Haydn,s:)

My pins go in towards the board, but are also underneath the board, instead of on top.

Just had a fly this evening on the 6040 props on 3S
POWER!!!!!!!

Thats what Haydn did to reduce the space in the Volt very clever idea:)

Cool:) any video:)

Another nice quad Lee, how many you got now...lol

Does this in turn power the FC via RX?

@Lee/Tony What are the parts marked XK?
Mine arrived with the surround chipped, i have complained and ordered new ones, but wondering if i can use them if i hot glue them:)

A few people have said the 12v is week for the vtx and cam normally if using a 12v cam, i have mine running from the 12v out to the vtx then that powers the cam at 5v and I have had not an issue,

Any pictures Kev?

Not sure what the XK is. MR Electronics man will tell you, I'm sure
Mine is working perfectly since moving the VTX to the LED pins and not the 12V out pins.

Other way round Clay, BEC goes into the FC and the FC powers the RX.

Gotcha.

Both 3 & 4 S quads are ready to fly.
