Hi Guys ,
I have been supplying motors , props ,spares for college students making QUAD rotors recently .

Any one made it sucessfully in India  ?

I found this thread  and layout on rc groups  thought I will post it but its beyond my understanding  Shocked

May be some of the techos might find it interesting

do we need to use mixers  Grin even if our tx is capable of mixing the channels  Arguement

can't we just mix the channels from tx

Tried the combination  of V tail Mixers  and Gyros to see if the concept works with  some Brushless  Motors I had , the elevator throttle  segment works   will shift the same 2 motors to the Aileron rudder side  some day as time permits  and check it out .
I am trying these motors  without an airframe only checking if the system works , if it does then fitting on to an airframe should not be  a major problem.

Hope to keep  the updates coming .

The previous answer stands.  How will you get the output of the gyros that are on the plane, back into the TX which is in your hands to be mixed ?  Remember that the mixing in the TX is of the stick positions.

Ankur - Building such an aircraft is all about experimentation.  People will be hesitant to say YES or NO to your question, unless they have built one and flown it themselves.  Even in that case, one person's success may not directly translate to someone else's success due to changes in material used, difference in final AUW etc.

So you have a design that Sai posted, and it is upto the individuals to experiment.  For example, the tricopter I saw on our field was built very light, and all 3 motors were driven from a single lipo, and there was no separate BEC.  So when you post such a "bill of materials" (fancy term for list of items you need to accomplish something Wink), people will really be worried about getting involved (at least that is what I honestly felt when I initially saw your post).

Think about simplifying everything, and have fun with the experimentation.  The big concern is the main  power system (motor/ESC/prop) selection, and it looks like you are OK on that part.

just wondering how can we counter rotate brushless motors [ like brushed ones can be reversed by reversing the polarity ]
since we need to use 2 conter rotating props then we need to counter rotate the motors too[or the net thrust will be zero as both set of props will swinging in same direction and they will will push/pull air in opposite directions hence cancelling each others thrust]
hence i arrived to this question....

by using CCW/CW propellers.This way they can cancel each others torque and remain stable.

what are ccw/cw props??
secondly as per the mixing diagram posted by mr.sai it is necessary to counter rotate two motors so how can we counter rotate them??

CW-Clockwise
CCW- Counter Clock wise

Quads use props in counter-rotating pairs. Most common normally used props on models are CCW rotation, also called tractor props. When looking at the front of the CCW rotating prop the air is propelled behind it. The common orientation is the front and rear using the CCW props and the left and right using the CW, or pusher props. This may or may not be reversible, i.e., CW props on front and rear and CCW props on left and right, in your setup utility depending on the version of quad you fly. If the front, rear, left right prop orientation is not selectable via the setup application, then the props must be mounted the way the flight control board requires them or the quad will not fly and possibly will flip when throttle is applied. The CCW(tractor)+CW(pusher) prop sets are not commonly available, but online stores do have them.

Recommended props:
--APC1238: ~$8pair. 18.7g.
--APC1365: ~$12pair. 26g.
--APC1447: ~$12pair. 25g.

ok i have already gone through them and  i know it
my question is that is just putting these props on a bl motor sufficient?
i don't think it is
i think we will need to turn the motors also in the opposite direction and this is my question-how to do it[turn it in opp. direction]??

For a brushless motor, just interchange any 2 of the 3 wires. But to get the desired effect, you will also have to mount two of the motors upside down, I think.

if you mount the the 2 motor upside down then you will get longer battery life.If you rotate the motor in opposite of its natural roation (CW/CCW) your battery life would suffer.Some member of rcgroup posted it a while back.Cant find the thread.
But i still think if we use CW/CCW props we wont need to rotate the motors in opposite direction.Correct me if am wrong.

I was talking about achieving the same results using the same type of props (instead of having both CW/CCW).

If we use same props for all the motors and rotate 2 motors in opposite direction.Then battery life might suffer.Read it in rcgroups.
So the best way would be to put 2 motors in upside down as you pointed already.

Let us say we use same type of props with all motors pointing upwards (so they are all pushing air downwards).  Now if we rotate the props on two of them in the opposite direction, those two will push air in the opposite direction (which is upwards), which defeats the design ! This is what drives the "two motors mounted upside down" setup Head Scratching

You can see it in action here, in the link Sai posted initially itself : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6596903&postcount=4

I am planning to build one soon, will know better after that !  Got all the parts today, it is only a matter of time now (so many things to build) Smiley

Brushed motors have a preferred direction because the commutation timing is set mechanically. I don't see how brushless motors have this issue. Will be interested in the link if you can find it again.

Hi
  For the quadrotor we need 2 tractor and 2 pusher propellers. rotor.co.in is good source to get them, but they also have low stock. So i'm not getting 8*6 or 9 inch pusher propellers there.. Any other sources in India?

If you can't find them (and none of the LHSes here responded to your availability check), get the 3 blade props from Hobbycity.  This is the route I went with.

If you read the quad related threads here, you will realize that motor selection depends on the weight (which may be related to the size) of the quad you are building.  One thing to note is that a little higher KV motors with smaller props work better than the other way around, and 2 blade props are better than 3 blade props.

There are no substitutes to gyros, they are basic requirement for stability.  You can have one 3-axis gyro instead of 3 single axis ones, but cost wise they end up being similar.

I hope you have read about the mixer issues in the build thread.

Many people have reported that 3 blade props cause more vibration then 2 blade ones.  Vibration tends to overload the gyros.

I have a few Ardu IMU Boards ( http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/arduimu-quadcopter ) apart  from the other stuff needed for a quad .
E mail : rcforallin@gmail.com   for details .

I don't know of other experiences but 3 blade Rotating / Counter rotating paired props have worked well on the Quad's developed by IITM , Anna University etc. They  buy these from us for use on their Quad's .
In fact the IIT M quad  that won the 2nd place at the DRDO competition last year used  2 pairs of Rotating and Counter rotating of GWS 9050

hello sai ,
3b gws does not give good efficiency, ant it is not recommended for quad , go for 2b  slowflyer prop for better and best performance

i know what iitm people did with the quad.. its actually MK Germany ( Giggle) its not Indian made quad , i think MIT people have did some research on quad controller , i met them at acmee 2010 international machine tools and auto components exhibition , they gave demo on their quad which was damn stable in the air ,

and Sai , the first post in this thread that you made is wrong information please remove it ,,
the mixer is available in your shop is gws mixer, which you cannot be used for it actually


i too made a quadcontorller of my own , which is very quite use full for fpv and rpv, not only quad ,tri and mulit.. right now im doing research on quad stability based on image processing

the thing i found is
1. lil diff in tuning pid  Angry
2. pid differs with payload  Huh?
3. not good for outdoor flight Bang Head
4. very nice if you tune it for exact  pid Clap
5. every time you have to connect it to pc to change pid  Bang Head
6. serial input is needed Huh?

its not  ok for beginners and non technical people more over its open source  Angry
i did with 72 normal Rx converted in to serial .. now im gonna try with corona 2.4g

Vineet - Welcome to RC India Smiley

You will see many quad rotor discussions here.  There are people here who have done it, and provide professional help.  Like these :

http://www.rcindia.org/self-designed-diy-and-college-projects/quadrotor-rtf-sale/
http://www.rcindia.org/self-designed-diy-and-college-projects/quad-rotor-2904/ 

I would suggest that you spend some time using the SEARCH feature of RC India, and then contact one of the resources such as the one I mentioned.

Wow...

Is there one pilot per quad or is it all pre- programmed with Mission Planner ?

Any ways its really great.

@Atul

They use a very Costly VICON motion capture camera system which locates all the quads in 3D space (Flying Arena) the central controller then uses this visual info as Feedback and generate commands to move the Quads in a predefined path.

@Atul

They use a very Costly VICON motion capture camera system which locates all the quads in 3D space (Flying Arena) the central controller then uses this visual info as Feedback and generate commands to move the Quads in a predefined path.

Ankur,I am a customer of Hobbyking,a very fond one though,But the parts you mentioned will not be successful for a quad.Go on to hobbyking and search in the multirotors section for a good multirotor control board like this one- HobbyKing Multi-Rotor Control Board V2.1 (Atmega168PA).Use brushless motors (Outrunners)for thrust like this one-FC 28-22 Brushless Outrunner 1200kv.Use any 6ch Tx/Rx from HK.Use these ESC's-Hobbyking SS Series 15-18A ESC.These have the BEC confi. included.The props will be -1047SF Combo (1047SF & R1047SF) (3 Standard & 3 Counter Rotating Per Bag) which you can find in the props section.The battery should be-Turnigy 3000mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack.Dont forget to buy the charger for the lipo.This one is the best-Turnigy balancer & Charger 2S-3S.If you have any more questions ,then you can reply to me at any time.Hope this helps!

It is not advised to use different ESCs as they might have different timings. So there is a possibility that your quad will not behave properly.
However if you have to use different ESCs then atleast make sure to calibrate them before using.

nitesh no offence, but what was that question for?
motor to motor distance = 550 mm
prop size=10"
now if you have 2 motors, each with a prop on it, then you should have a little more than 10" distance between 2 motors
( 2* radius of a prop, because you have 2 halves of a prop between them.)
10" to mm = 250 mm
 so there is 550-250 = 300 mm or 30 cm between props.

was that too hard? Tongue

For A micro quad is 2.5" difference from prop to prop enough or we need more.
