And your not in danger of having your wheels nicked if you fly to low :)

Gyro's will only help stabilise against rotational (pitch, roll, yaw) where as you will almost certainly need the to take into account linear actuations (with input from an accelerometer) to counter the motion in 3d space along the axis. IE 6 DOF/DOM.

Because, apparently I *DO* need instructions.... :rolleyes: General consensus is that the hub piece with a hole goes at the top of the of the quad rotor. This gives you more surface area at the bottom to velcro in the battery and somewhere to stuff the wires from your controller down. KK...

Snapquad frame arrived today! I was going to post a long labourious how to on building it, but TBH its about a 2 minute job to put this frame together. I took five and that's because I was messing around taking photos :) Click to access the rest of the set. I have put the unpopulated...

Pretty much everything works for me, except the background colour, way too high contrast from the blue for my liking. Cant find that site style box you mentioned either. Clearly some form of sadist :)

Good call Matwelli. At some point I was gonna get the FrSky module with telemetry but this is a first timers guide :)

Thanks! Sadly it's only 9 channels in PCM mode (in the tiny small print....), 99.9% of people will use it as it comes in 2.4ghz 8 channel guise. Even that is more than enough for most, and for the price an easy decision for people who don't have radio gear already. Alternatively it is also...

Reporting in from sunny Portsmouth, bits and pieces are currently on the way from various suppliers, it will eventually be a SnapQuad with a KK controller.

This is by no means the only way to configure a quad, or even the SnapQuad, so consider these guidelines. Aiming for this to be a bit of a step-by-step guide of how I am doing it, and this will hopefully give people new to MRC's a place to start. The Great Shopping List of Doom! Frame...
