Mini Quad has just been ordered

[Derek]

Oh! lol....didn't know that.

I think I'm just getting excited about getting the mini quad, lol. Today is day 10 after placing my order. The tracking number says that the package is on it's way to the states, which means it's getting closer and I'm just getting all worked up, lol. I'm putting so much thought into it that I think I'm just trying to plan ahead.

I just need to settle down and just know that it is on it's way.

[Lee]

As Stambo said, and its normally motor 1 that the BEC comes from.

[Derek]

ok...got it! Motor 1 has the BEC...quad still not here...patience, patience, patience! Ugh, lol

[Derek]

Ok....I just checked on the Tracking Number again. My package has arrived in the states. The website shows that the package arrived in Jamaica, New York and the package has left Jamaica, New York. I imagine that it's now on it's way to my home state...maybe, lol. No further details on the next destination. Although I'm not ready to buy the electronics, it would just be nice to know that the item that I PAID FOR is in my possession, lol.

I was just looking for the KISS esc's. I looked at getfpv.com. They only have the 18amp esc's....no 12amp. This esc looks very small, indeed. I did download the manual and the manual shows everything that needs to be done. Very cool! I thought it was odd to see an esc with no wires on it at all, lol. In the manual, they show where each wire gets soldered. If I do go with these esc's, I'll have to get a new soldering tip for my soldering iron. I don't have one of those fine tips.

Radioshack Derek I have a really fine tip soldering from there I just got it is great we are talking freshly sharpened pencil tip fine and gets more them hot enough

[Derek]

Thanks for that, Kyle! I'll have to search the internet to see where the nearest Radio Shack is at. There use to be one near my parents house but that closed up about 5 years ago. There use to be one in New Haven, Indiana (about 25 minutes from me) but they closed up last month. Nonetheless, I'm sure I can find a very pointy tip somewhere, lol.

[wolfman76]

The one that I got is the electronic and hobby kit soldering iron it is 24.99 before tax a but comes with all kinds of tips also even one that looks like an exactly knife blade for foam cutting

[Derek]

I just checked on the tracking number again. I'm getting so excited, lol.

My package has gone from Jamaica, New York the USPS in Brooklyn, NY. So....if that's correct, I'm just guessing that it's possible that the quad will be here Thursday but mostly likely Friday. Saturday at the latest.

[Derek]

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!!

I just checked the tracking number and my package has been scanned at my local post office!!! I didn't see any info about a specific "delivery date" but if my quad has been scanned at my local post office, I'm pretty much expecting delivery today.

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

[Tony]

Good luck on delivery today mate

[Derek]

The mini quad is here! The mini quad is here!!!

Nice little package. It looks like all the bits and pieces are all here. Now, unfortunately, I get to simply put it on the shelf until I can order the electronics for it. I'm still going to be working on getting my truck paid off either this month or next month. Once that's done, the I can work on my rc projects better.

Nonetheless...I'm very happy to have the Dart 250 FPV quad with clean and dirty frame and integrated PDB here, at last, lol.

[KevG]

Glad you got it Derek, but you defo have more patience than ME! Lol I would have the frame built by now,

[Derek]

lol....I'm not sure that I wanna build the frame without the electronics. Don't get me wrong...I'd love to see this little bugger built but I don't wanna put it together and then have to take it all apart when I get the electronics.

[Stambo]

Cool Derek, I am with Kev on this one.
I would have done a dry build by know just to see what it looks like.

[danhampson]

Go on Derek build it without thread lock,

[KevG]

Just leave the base plate loose so you can get at the PDB

[Derek]

I can't handle the peer pressure!!!! Ok....I'll build it tonight, lol.

[Tony]

Come on Derek, good grief man. Stop being methodical and build the buga, and we want a pic so get a camera too... Lol

[Derek]

why are you guys yelling at me??? lmao

[Tony]

Coz we have been waiting for it coming, and now u have it your NOT going to build.... Lol, take a chill pill and build it bud...
