]]> So Father’s day was last week and I decided to build my Dad a new 250mm Quadcopter so we can finally race each other. I wanted to make a build video but went with a Time-lapse of the build and its pretty cool IMO. I still need to test fly it and finishing the PID tuning. So far I have some issues when trying to spool up the motors, I am going to troubleshoot it this week. Click HERE to find out more info on your own custom Quadcopter Build.

Using my Flashforge Creator Pro 3D Printer I was able to make some custom parts for this FPV Quadcopter, one of which is a low profile spacer that allows you to put all of the electronics inside the frame including the ESC’s which makes for a super clean build as show below.

The Flight Controller is running Cleanflight but I might switch it over to Betaflight, I still need to look into the recent changes of both Cleanflight and Betaflight.

Its running:

  • Skyline32 Flight Controller
  • FlySky TH-9 Transmitter
  • 2500mah LiPo Battery
  • Carbon Fiber 250mm Quadcopter Frame (ZMR250)
  • Power Distribution Board
  • 2000kV motors

Soon I will be posting a test flight video of this aircraft.
