Hi everyone. Here is my first rookie video taken from a turnigy keychain camera that was strapped on to my custom built 550mm quadrocopter.  Wink



My setup:
Motors - AX380N 1200Kv
ESC - Turnigy Plush 18A
Battery - Turnigy 2200mAh, 20c discharge rate
FC - KK2 board flashed with v1.5 firmware
Arms - 12mmx12mmx0.8mm cross-section aluminum extrusion
Centre-plate - 5mm thick polycarbonate sheet
Landing gear - Hiller 500 Heli Skids with aluminum rod
Camera - Turnigy keychain cam (of course!!!)  Grin

Any suggestions/remarks would be appreciated!  Thumbs Up

PS - I am very grateful to Adiboy for sourcing the FC, the complete power system and the Camera at a great price & sincerely thankful to Ashta sir for helping me figure out some anomalies over phone.
 Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off
