After some inspiration from fpv.no I decided to build my own H frame quadcopter.<\/p>\n

It’s a very simple yet stable design, and makes a perfect FPV quad. The H quad gets a much larger “center” than most other types, which makes it spacious! You can fit almost anything onto it, well you’re only concern is the weight.<\/p>\n

So I started off by drawing a\u00a0simple\u00a03D model of what I was looking for. I used 3dsmax, but for a quick model Sketchup is great. I’m jus more used to 3dsmax.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I bought some 18mm tick pinewood plates which I cut out cylinders in 20x18x800 mm sizes, then cut them down to their correct\u00a0length.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To make em stick together I used some small\u00a0wood-screws\u00a0and\u00a0polyurethane\u00a0wood glue between the joints. Making it\u00a0surprisingly\u00a0sturdy and stiff!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For soldering it all together I used a power distribution board, placed underneath the plastic box. For battery connections I use two XT60 plugs, one in front and one in back, to keep the quad in balance. Alternatively you could make room for the battery under the plastic box, making it possible to only fly with one large battery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The end result looking like this! Total quad weight without battery: 1045 g<\/p>\n

Parts list:<\/strong><\/p>\n
