Title: DJI Flamewheel 450 - Buildlog Post by: sooraj.palakkad on February 14, 2015, 10:40:10 PM This is going to be the second build since I have been to this Wonderful Hobby.
Sole purpose is to have a Good looking quad in my hanger for display :giggle: Selected the most favorite F450 frame and planned to couple it with DJI motors itself. Parts were on their long way across the seas for few days, and started reaching me one by one from last week. and everything arrived by past Wednesday. the build is already completed and test flown.. Title: Re: DJI Flamewheel F450 - Buildlog Post by: Ribz on February 14, 2015, 11:07:05 PM videos would help :)
Title: Re: DJI Flamewheel F450 - Buildlog Post by: sooraj.palakkad on February 14, 2015, 11:38:14 PM @Ribz ,Watch this : www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=a392Pj6QUFg (http://) (http://) - this video is taken with a normal point and shoot camera tied down to the quad !
The frame kit unboxed - was too delighted to see those extra items that came as freebies - 2 Velcro straps, two pieces stick on Velcros and Extra screws ! Even there was a English manual - so just gave a Five star feedback for the seller . For the price I paid, I got dual the benefit .

First I planned to solder on bullet connectors there to make my ESCs detachable, but later I avoided that and directly soldered the leads .

what camera? nice built :) Title: Re: DJI Flamewheel F450 - Buildlog Post by: sooraj.palakkad on February 15, 2015, 01:41:25 AM The camera is Fujifilm 14MP . Even though the camera had FHD movie recording, It will record only for few minutes on a 2GB SD card :( , hence had to selected lower resolution (640p) :banghead: .
The flight controller is NAZA LITE, and I tuned the gains :) Title: Re: DJI Flamewheel F450 - Buildlog Post by: gunnu on February 15, 2015, 01:46:28 AM good job man.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
