I just painted my quad what do you guys think

View attachment 3359

I am finishing up the power board and re-solderingthe multiwii board

Looks good , but The front arms look to be a bit long.

Look at this Spider Quad, you can see that the arm size front and back will make a square.
The back arms will always be 1.5059 * the front arm size.
if front arms are 9" it would be 9" * 1.5059 = 13.55" or just 13.5"

This is for Lee.

You can see the red plugs are for power and the black servo plugs are the camera.

Then I have one y harness done for the camera. I have to get parts for the power y harness. I'm not hooking them up together yet though. Till I get the wireless tx working. But I'm thinking that there is something wrong with the RX in the goggles!

Oh here is the y for the camera. image.jpg

Ok if you remember i asked you how you are getting the 12V for the camera. Well the chinese TX you have provides 12V to the camera, but the Fatshark only puts out 5V. So if you are trying to power the camera from the Fatshark TX it won't work. I have a separate Voltage regulator to provided the 12V to the camera.
My power for the TX comes straight from the frame. The signal wire goes to the camera and the ground wire goes to the Voltage regulator. The camera ground wire and positive wire go to the Voltage regulator.
Not sure if this will help you or not.

I just looked it up on the web sight. My camera dose require 12V to operate so I'm going to go make a harness and try it.
