APM + Skyfun

Finally put together a working UAV using the Ardupilot Mega platform from DIYDrones.com. I originally bought this platform for a multirotor, but couldn't get a good homebrew airframe, so I decided to get a Skyfun and install it here for some fun. I also installed a 5.8GHz FPV system, but need to get it working properly. I might also try a 500W 3550kv motor in this airframe to break into 100+mph.

 

Next project is to get the Arducopter back together in a new airframe with an entirely new power plant. I plan on using the ArdupiratesNG codebase as a starting point for my quad.

 

Powerplant:

RCTimer 2826-6 2200kv motor

6x4e prop (tried a 7x3, but that pulled a lot out of the pack)

30A ESC

SkyLipo 3S1P 2200maH 30C

 

Avionics:

Ardupilot Mega

APM "Oil Pan" IMU

UBlox 5 GPS
