At the bottom of the first page Theres a list of the stores that sell them. If they are not in stock you habe to pay and yours will be sent out when it arrives. They are in the final stages of a new board that should be amazing. Its called the Revolution with GPS function, RTH, bluetooth control. So you can control it from your computer.

what about the DJI NAZA multirotor controller for quads

I have 2 - of the Naza's one on a FPV Quad and the other on my Hexa. They work very well, and now they have the GPS upgrade coming out this month.
You will have Alt Holt, Return to home, GPS Hold, Intelligent Mode (Carefree), Failsafe autoland, etc. You can also fine tune the gain from you radio as you fly
using X1 and X2 ports.
The Naza is on the center Spider Quad in the pic.

hey lee what is the lxw dimensions for the arms to the quad all the alluminum square tubing i am finding is measured in inches not mm like the build plans on open pilot say??? You know like 1/4" wide how many inches long know what i mean???

 

[Tony]

There is 10mm in a cm, and one cm is .3937". So just divide the Cm by .3937 and it will give you the inches.

hey lee what format did you use to run center plates through cnc my buddy has one but i don't think he can use dwg file in it

 

[Lee]

I used these ones,
Copter Control Centre Plates - Documentation - OpenPilot Wiki

 

[wolfman76]

hey lee got the square tubes in yesterday printed off the templates had them printed off at fedex kinkos they printed off as dwg file should that be correct??? Turns out my buddy still has not had a chance to finish setting up his cnc that he built due to him working alot of hours... turns out i have enough material that i will be buildin 2 quads instead of just 1.... WOO HOO!!!!

 

[Lee]

I'm new to the whole CNC thing myself. My friend did most of the work for me. Hope to see some pics of yours soon.

You need the 10x4.7 SF and the 10x4.7 SFP. SF are the CW and SFP are the CCW.
