Hey Guys!
First post here. Been lurking for a few weeks, whilst gathering components for my first build.
Initially I am putting this kit onto a F450, but once I'm not so 'dangerous in the air', plan on moving up to a Droidworx V3, or maybe even ECM (depending on spec).
Reason I'm posting, I've seen a few pics / threads of people's F450 builds, .... but wanted to get some feedback on:
1. Best placement of DJI hardware on the F450 - keeping it all 'sandwiched' in between the top and bottom plate. Your PICS of hardware placement would be great!!!
2. Some advice of where to install the GoPro camera, ... on the top plate, or on the bottom plate ledge. Ideally with zero prop view whilst filming.
3. For programming the ESC's, I planned to power them up all at once (already all connected to PDB - so just connect lipo), and then plug each one into the programming card. Any issues?
4. I presume I leave ONE red wire in place to power the futaba receiver.... the rest get folder back. Correct?
Based on your feedback, I plan to build the rest of this up Tues/Weds and get flying a.s.a.p.
Enclosed is a pic of progress so far (mainly soldering ecs's / battery lead to PD Board) - but would really love your feeback on where to place what.
FYI 'white' is the front, and I was planning on mounting the GoPro on the front base plate ledge sticking out.
