pretty much bulletproof. i chase birds around the back yard and have flown it into fences, trees and even the pool once. just rub some dirt into it and fly off.
it does have a vibration problem but i put some rubber bands between each arm which seems to have mitigated that issue a bit.
ps, spend extra and get nice motors. i tried the cheap motors but it didnt start flying nice until i put some rimfire 200's. the FC doesnt matter. i had an old kk blackboard, apm 1.0, crius AIO and a kk2.0 flying in it. i still have the KK2.0 in it because i flew it into the pool and the screen doesnt work so i cant really change settings lol.
Are you talking about the Turnigy Micro-Quad frame kit? That seems like a lot of motor for that frame. Also which motor do you have? There are 2 2805's. I am sure the frame can handle your setup. BUT the little red connector provided is commonly called a JST and is rated at 2 amps although most people use them to 5 amps. If you truly are going to use those motors You should upgrade the connector to an XT60 or EC 3 or 5. I always measure the amp draw of the motors when I set up a new system using a wattmeter. Then you are sure how many amps you will draw and if everything matches. If you go back to the ad for that frame it suggests the Turnigy 1811 motors with 6 amp ESC's. I think that would give you a nice balanced quad.
Sombody know how many Amp can have the board?
When i open the box there is a little JST connector that seems to be use for low AMP.
I bought 4 ESC 18Amp and 4 2805 with 6x3 props.
Every motor will use max 12AMP.

I just finished the build on this.. took about 4-5 hours start to finish.. It flies excellent! My props had to be drilled out, I used a 3/32 drill, which made the props not impossible to push on the motors.. Snug. If you try to force the props on, you'll bend a shaft...
I'm using a MegaWii board, with perfect results. I plan to add the gps module, and possibly go with Megapirate code. The telemetry features work great with my PC... real-time flight data.
The quad has taken a good 'hit' on one of my flights... no harm, no autopsy. Good light frame, strong enough to 'smash' and walk away. An excellent 'trainer' machine, which is why I built it.. I don't want to fly my octo until I get comfortable with the baby quad.
One nice thing about this baby... it's nearly silent at altitude.. Get it up about 30', and you really have to strain to hear it. I bet it would be a great 'indoor' flyer.. Just be very careful.. it seems to be WAAAAY over-powered.. a slight touch and you're at 200'. But it does have PLENTY of speed. BUY THIS KIT! Just beware... it required 2mm bolts/nuts, which are not easy to find.
For the red ones i use a 1.8 drill bit now and i use it half way and just push real hard and it goes on nice and tight.
the black ones i s****ed useless with prop saver just too loose.

Don't drill out the props! This can cause a real problem slippage, etc. A simple way to put a prop on is to press it on with a simple shop vise. Slides on smoothly and evenly yet will hold indefinitely.
For the red ones i use a 1.8 drill bit by hand dont use a drill.. just turn it till you get some shavings out of it do it half way and just push real hard and it goes on nice and tight. the black ones is useless with prop saver just too loose. Tommy
hi could someone answer how you are fitting the red and black props that are recommended for this frame. they seem to tight and will break if you were to force it on to the motor shaft.
These props fit perfectly if pressed on with a simple shop vise. Just make sure that the shaft is fully supported. I have done this with all of mine. The only drawback is that they do not come off easily. Once on they are there until cut or pulled loose. To pull them off requires a small puller that bears on the shaft.

I'm new to multirotors but I am not new to rc overall. Can I use these instead of the 6amp plush ones since they weigh the same. I can't see why not as they are cheaper and weigh the same but like I said, let me know. Thanks all.
It might be able to lift the GoPro, but I doubt it would fly very well. The thrust for the suggested motors is only 165 grams each. GoPro is 100 grams, and with the rest of your electronics, this quad would not be very stable and would struggle to fly.
Anyone who built this with T1811-2900kv motors, 5x3 props and the KK 2.0 board could share their gain settings for stable flight. I'm having a hard time tuning it.
ok i cut to more wire short enough to reach the board. now i cant solder it to the board it not taking the solder it like repelling it! what can i do?
using the turnigy motor. fo i have to take apart he motor? if so how? what size allen wrench?
Hi all my kid just built the turnigy micro quad and we are using the plush 6a , kk 2.0 Lcd , and the 5x3 props all the recommend gear.
First issue was putting on the red props that don't fit. Don't know everyone else is getting them on but the black props are loose so in the meantime I am using em with the prop saver that came with the t1811 motors it came with.
I can not get this this to take off. I checked the rotations of the motors I did the receiver test, check the prop orientation , I programmed the esc at best it topples over. I want to get this thing workings before xmas this the first time working with kk board I have a naza on my quad setup on hoverthings ht-fpv frame.
I did check the work my kid did motors 1-4 checked black on outside
Reciever text checked
Thanks in advance
Tommy
Hey Tommy, Check that you have the correct motor layout configured. I had similar symptoms when I had the wrong motor configuration set in the KK2.0 board...
If you are using the KK2.0 board, make sure that you have mounted in correctly for that direction. The board is mounted facing forward. Compare with "Turnigy Micro Quad V2 PNP ARTF Includes KK2.0 LCD Flight Control Board" (PRODUCT ID: 9171000150), where the KK2.0 board is mounted for x-configuration.
How are you guys getting the props on? Red ones are too tight to jame one I actually pushed the shaft down on the t1811 trying to get the prop I tried drilling but hole then was too loose. The black prop will only fit with prop saver but don't want to use that in fear of oscillation and I don't want to loose that o ring. What is you guys secret ?
Tommy, Can't help you with the black ones which have an oversize hole except to use prop saver as already suggested. However, the red ones can be pressed on to the motor shaft with a small shop vise.

Hi just got this for my kid who is 8 years old with kk 2.0 board. Pretty much the recommended setup.
Now with the plush 6 as is? Or do you have to program them? If anyone can can give any basic setup numbers for kk 2 just looking for real stable slow flying he just finished building it today and he needs just to add kk and rec.
Any help would be great
Its a pcb so hard to gauge... It's designed for 6amps * 4... I have added some led's as well... If would not push it over 10
A per corner... You could easily up by adding hard wiring but defeats the need on such a small
Quad..
Study the design carefully. This is a Quadcopter on "plus" configuration. Front and rear motors/ESC mounted on slightly extended rear boom with motors/counter rotating props - with a longer more stable geometry than stock "X". This configuration offer a very wide field of view for FPV purposes. Did he break an arm? No - he has come up with a viable alternative to the regular tricopter without the complex servo set-up. Genius!
Nice demo of how self-leveling and acro modes. Set to self-levelling and let the sticks go - frame should self level if there is enough altitude to allow the correction. Brilliant !
If base on above calculation, minus battery, it will give 58gr. I heard from a friend that the frame is to heavy, so I don't think the above flying weight is correct. Maybe need different motor size.
Listen up you dirty rats, how long are the motor mount holes?
I'm putting in an emoticon for good measure!

I've just bought one of these. I've never built a quad-copter, actually, I've never built any RC model. As this is a first I decided to make a blog to document the process of putting this together from a complete newbie point of view.
If anyone is interested in seeing what the build turns out like the blog is at Wordpress and its called andysrc (andysrc.wordpress.)
I've just bought one as well. This is my first quad to fly, though I have assisted in building a few quads and other multi-copters. I fly fixed wing full scale and r/c, but this is my first heli/multi-copter. Good luck, I'll check out the bolg.
It's very easy to assemble..this is my second quad..in the end it is very nice to see in flight because it is clean..no wires or velcro straps around the arms!
Hello, you will find a lot of information about the setup & assembly of such a micro-quad if you GOOGLE for "flydumini". This is a german made MultiWii based quad with only little smaller size - so you can use the same equipment. Search for "BAUBERICHT FLYDUMINI" (let it google-translate) and you will find a step-by-step guide.
Good luck!
2000kv will be plenty of lift on 3s with 5030's. If you figure you're adding 1/3 power and removing less than 1/3 of total RPM (kv) while keeping the props as a constant.
dose or can hobby king do a complete set simalair to the bixler plane, where you get every thing you need to fly. i now the cost and preformance varies with diferent components but can they do a buy and build kit where you get everthing for the glue to the battery and transmitter. so that novacie like me can get in to the quad copter fun and videoing
It would be nice if there was one, but it would probably be pretty pricy! There is quite a bit of tinning, calibration, and tuning involved and it's much easier for the customer to build their own generally. I would go a step further to tell who read this to ONLY USE "card programmable ESCs". If not, you risk burning up motors. Hope this helps and Happy flying.

It is nice small strudy product, with a neat PCB, good for college projects, no messy wires running around, only downside is it is small so you cant put big props and pick some big payloads with it, Flies in indoors well, you may want to add a padding for your board. Overall nice littel prodcut for pittens that you pay.
goodlooking frame, light and easy to assembly. will buy more

Bonjour, (English below...)
J'ai testé ce week-end dans la configuration préconisé par HK
Autonomie avec des 800Mah:
8min en stationnaire dans la maison
4:30 en translation rapide et accro
Perso j'ai mis un firmware Kapteinkuk 4.7 Accro, c'est à la fois très vif et très sain, on peut faire des translations rapide et accro sans pb.
La carte supportera sans trop de pb les petits crash ou atterrissages un peu dur.
Globalement ça fait un montage hyper propre et il n'y a pas pleins de fils partout...
Hello
I have testes this frame this week-end with the hk recommanded version
The autonomy with a 2S 800Mah is about 8 min in my house and 4:30 outside with fast translation and accro
I put the Kapteinkuk 4.7 Accro firmware, it's very fast and stable.
I can do fast loop with it
This frame can support little crash or bad landing (but is not unbreakable)

Good quality frame and the PCB makes it super simple to assemble.
Soldered up everything in about 1 hour and was ready to fly in 2.
