Ok.. after using a frame that would break everytime I so much as sneezed.. I went with a cheap carbon frame, I picked up from ARK... I am using parts from my old mini quad.. but I also picked up a Power Distribution Board to make things neater..
Frame : ZMR 250 (http://arkrc.com.au/h250-zmr250-250mm-carbon-fiber-mini-fpv-quadcopter-frame-kit/)
PDB : Nucleus PDB (http://team-legit.com/product/nucleus-pdb-by-wadzofquadz-team-legit-for-zmr250/)
Motor : T-Motor MN1806 230KV (http://www.multirotorgear.com/t-motor-mn1806-2300kv-motor/)
ESC: T-Motor 12A SimonK ESC... (cant seem to find them I would probably use http://www.multirotorgear.com/lumenier-12a-esc-with-simonk-n-fet/)
FC - Naze32 flashed with CleanFlight (http://arkrc.com.au/mj280-0005-mojo-280-naze-32-flight-controller-receiver-cable/)
Props - Gemfam 5x3
FRAME:
Ok.. putting together the frame is easy .. just remember to put in the stand-offs and spacers first, else you wont be able to get to them and you will have to pull the base plate off...
I replaced the middle frame with a PDB, just to make life easier, plus it has lights, filtered power, and wiring for a miniosd and different voltages for camera's and vtx...
I pre-tinned the connectors. mounted the stand offs, and put most of the frame together
As I have not spaced out the lower frames.. I mounted the ESC's on the arms.. doesnt protect in a crash, but helps with heat.. I would probably prefer to mount under the frame were possible.. but not an option without spacing it out.. and to be honest.. I couldnt be bothered....
MAke sure the motors are spinning the correct direction, once you do that, I direct soldered the wires.. makes it neater and lighter...
ok.. the NAZE.. you will need to solder the pins on.. just do it, and stop whining. with this board I put on the straight pins.. due to the PDB, and I rotated the board 90 deg to the right, so the USB port is easy to access.
To flash the NAZE.. just get the chrome app called "Clean Flight" open it up and follow the instructions. It will also in the setup have a live view of what the controller is seeing.. make sure it moves the right way before spooling up, else it will tilt... Just remember with turning the board you will need to tell it you have rotated it to the right...
once thats all done.. hook up the vtx and camera.. put the lid on.. and your good to go..
FLIGHT:
I havent had much chance to do a lot of flights.. but I will honestly say, it flies extremely well.. I would highly recommend the NAZE and clean flight... it was fast, stable, and responsive.. tho the yaw rate is a little low.. I need to increase that...
If anyone is down at MRCHC happy to let people have a look.. I will get some flight video soon...
If people are interested.. I can try and do a basic clean flight setup and overview.... not that I know much about it...
