/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I built a 90-class quad today.
My first build!

Lantian 90 frame (I ordered a two frames and this one seemed better than the other. Thick carbon laminate, nicely machined, thoughtfully layed out.)

Piko BLX flight controller, Sunrise Cicada 10A 4-in-1 ESCs, generic 1104 -4000kv motors.

Had to re-do a few things up to and including diagnosing a bum serial line joint, but the FC is happy, the ECs are freshly flashed, and the motors spin up.

Took a lot longer than I would have liked. I've never had to solder copper wire ends to aluminum wire ends before. Bit obnoxious.

Been practicing in sim, so hopefully I won't break too many props.
