I kept the 3.5mm bullet conectors between the ESC's and the motors for now but i will likely solder these up after the first couple of flights. The first part of the build was to assemble the motors and ESC's on the DJI arms. As is they are smooth so for now I have simply lubricated them with Scorpion lube. I have purchased a set of abec3 replacement bearings from in the event they start "noising up" or if vibration starts to creep in. In flight they are smooth and never come down warm. On balance check, almost none was needed. The quality is way up with extra large bearings and a nice prop adapter feature where the motor shaft is threaded (4mm) and the bell has a step for the prop to sit on. This new motor is unlike any other HK motor I have seen. Since I recently added a Brushless Gimbal the weight has gone up considerably so I have changed the motors to the HK AX2810Q, 750Kv units. They perform very well once balanced but the Kv was a little higher than I wanted. The original motors were HK NTM28-26 1000Kv units. With the new SimonK ESC's it works well and it is very smooth. Like on my other quad I chose parts that were consistently used by others with reliable results. These notes then describe how I put together some the components I selected in this frame. The HT-FPV build got all the set-ups defined and understood and proved to some degree, the compatability and reliability of the chosen components.Īs in the HT-FPV build,I do not describe in these notes the basic frame assembly as the frame maker has a very good, easy to understand manual which covers everything needed. These build notes are brief and only cover some of the things I found important or a good practice. You'll also need a base station and to see mine, go to this link: **Motors are $17.56 plus $12ea for abec3 bearings.
