Fossils Stuff Gravity 250 V2 - FPV racer

[KevG]

Just paid for my frame and PDB with Bec

Motors on the way from Banggood UK, DYS BE1806 2300kv black editions
Esc and vtx from Hobbyrc, DYS 16a BL heli and Aomway 200mw vtx cos of the size and weight,
4s batteries on route from HK intl on quick time postage, so hopefully won't be to long, 4s a bit scarce in the UK and Euro warehouses at the moment,

Already got the Naze32 and LEDs plus rx etc

[Lee]

Which frame Kev?

[KevG]

Got the gravity V2, Lee

[KevG]

Esc's have turned up as have my motors, but holy shit these esc's are freaking small, the motors are smaller than I thought they would be as well.

Vtx is here, just waiting for the antenna extension to bulkhead connector,

just waiting on the frame, and been told that that is in the post today,

Batteries are the thing that's gonna be late this week at best, UPS ticket been raised just waiting for it to get to the ups truck in HK international warehouse now,

[KevG]

Well not much done tonight,

Just fitted the prop adaptors to the motors,

And re soldered a few pins that were vertical to horizontal, man that was a pita!

[Graham Lawrie]

Nice one Kev:) Those things are solid:) Have you seen Highlanders video smashing it into rocks and fence posts:)

[KevG]

Yes mate, the post moved and the quad was fine!

[Graham Lawrie]

Is it the one you can get bigger motors on?

[Tony]

Sounds good Kev, we will need some pics you know... Lol

[KevG]

Not much to give you pics of yet, lol

They will come though.......

[KevG]

Holy smoke, my batteries should be here tomorrow, wow!

[DOG]

Hey KevG. You should be real close to your first flight soon. Good luck and don't forget the pics/videos for us to check out.

[KevG]

[KevG]

And it's here.

Looks great Kev!

[Tony]

Pretty cool looking that Kev, nice buy mate

[Graham Lawrie]

Very nice Kev:)

[KevG]

Thanks guys, it is pretty cool got to admit, pretty tight on the real estate, and has more of a plastic feel, but think I was thinking it would have a more foam like texture,

But initial thoughts are,

It's seems pretty light, but not sure until I weight it,
Strong as anything, no flex in the arms what so ever,
Nice functional touches like the FPV camera bracket slots and the bulkhead holes for an antenna,
And nice flat surfaces for led strips,

Going to use xt60's on this build as they have one hard installed on the frame and it's a good way to keep the wires from going anywhere near the props,

So what's going into it,

Sony 600tvl ccd cased,
Aomway 200mw vtx,
Cc3d PDB with 5v and 12v outputs,
Naze32 on base flight for now!
Runcam HD camera,
Green rear led's and White fronts,
Single spektrum satellite hard wired, (3v)
DYS sn16a esc's and be1806 black motors,
HQ 5040 props
1000mah 4s 25c Zippy compacts, until I can get 35c ones in the UK warehouse,

[Derek]

Very cool, kev! I'll be excited to see your new quad in the air. It sure is a cool looking frame.

[KevG]

Stuck in work with the quad by the side of me, laughing at me cos I want to build it, but got to wait for lunch time to do a bit,

Todays lunch time task - install the motors........
