@Satyagupta,  I am interested in the simulator. Does it have a quad in it?  I am also looking at connecting it to my Futaba radio.  Does it come with appropriate cables?
You can send it mail on lobo.roland@gmail.com.

Yes it comes with all cables and it comes with some simulators, i guess Pheonix RC comes with quad in it. And some other simulator as well. You can buy it online http://www.quadkopters.com/product/12-in-1-new-simulator/ simple registration and simple checkout process.

Has anybody used the DT700s? I just got 4 along with 12x4.5 SF props. Wondering if someone who has used them can share his experience..

I am using them for my quad, but its DT750 and its good, i am using it with 11.47 props good thrust...

The 750s are pretty well documented, but I could not find any ratings for the 700s using 12x4.5 hk props... Will post here when I get them

hello, dharmik sir, dreamfly sir

your information about Multi-rotor helped me a lot in selecting components..

I want to ask you few more questions..
I am little bit confused between control boards..
one

and
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__19534__HobbyKing_Multi_Rotor_Control_Board_V2_1_Atmega168PA_.html
for which should I go??

also I am very new to Multi-rotors can you please tell me assembly steps and also prerequisites befor 1st fly?

I have selected following components..
750Kv out runner 800gm thrust Imax= 14A
propellers 10*4.5(2 RH/ 2 RR)
hobbyking 20A ESC
2300mAh 3s 30c Lipo battery

please I need your support
 

I think you should go with KK2.0

If you are into DIY or Arduino, nothing beats this multiwii: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27033__MultiWii_328P_Flight_Controller_w_FTDI_DSM2_Port.html
If you want out of the box performance and easy setup you can go for the kk2 board. Although this lacks some sensors and is not expandable like the multiwii, it is a very good beginners board! But bear in mind, get the usbasp programmer. The new version of the kk2 firmware is a must upgrade for this board.

Don't cut costs with the flightcontroller. Make your own frame and save costs but a cheap fc will result in more damage to your quad=more costs. And buy tons of props

Hello from Poland

1st of all I'd like to thank mr.Dharmik for making a great tutorial on how to make your own multirotor UAV - great job!!!!!

I took the liberty and made some editing to the tutorial, added some new stuff and it all ended up as a nice guide in a .doc - Hope You don't mind .
It would be cool if everyone could contribute and make the best tutorial ever

Here's the link:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_43sXBfFG_ZZVpNVzY3eEZHelk/edit?usp=sharing

Ehhhh, Gdocs messed it up a bit :p

Ohhh, and sorry for the part with the polish description - I'll make an  update soon:)

If you have missed it, here is the new firmware v1.6 from KK. I flashed and flew my quad on last weekend and it flies great.

You are In Gujarat I am in delhi I hope we can meet sometime

Hi Guys,

what i read and saw is very inspirational. I am amazed that you guys can build such fantastic units on your own.  My dreams of becoming a pilot were shattered when i developed weak eyesight early in school. This sounds like a fun way to get into the game..

Can anyone please tell me how much does making this cost? i am really interested in knowing and learning this art.

Thank you all and all the best!!!

can we use high KV motors for High speed flying in QUAD

high kv motors with small diameter or lower kv with bigger props

so if your motor has 1200KV or more then 8 inch prop or less

If your motor has 1100kv or less then 9 inch prop or bigger.

I follow this funda:

Lower KV: (900 - 700) and bigger props (10-11) with higher pitch (3-5)

hello ppl .. i'm building my quad with following specs.
1)turnigy D2836 1100kv (with compression type prop adapters) {hobbyking}
2)25A Q brain ESC {hobbyking}
3)KK2.1 {hobbyking}
4)avionic rb6i 6ch rx and tx {rcbazaar}
5)1147 props / 1245 props (trying both) {hobbyking}
6)Aluminum frame either Hiller x550 {rcbazaar} or homemade
   if homemade, specs > shaft to shaft 700mm approx
7)battery 3s rhino 4900mah 20c {Hobbyking}
