RD290 a.k.a RDHex :: Mini Spider Hex

2014-08-22T20:05:00.000+08:00

New multirotor design by Trinco as an addition to his RD line. I'm lucky to be one of the early bird owner of this great design and have had enough flight hours (and crashes) with this frame that I can finally share.

RD230 :: Mini H-Quad

2014-05-22T16:53:00.001+08:00

Since I started flying FPV with my diy quad I know I'm not turning back. It's so much fun to get to feel the flying experience with my feet on the ground.

I decided to get myself a better mini frame ...
Full frame RD230 Mini H-Quad from FPV-RECCON (naked frame RD230 here - without dirty/clean plates)

I just love the way it looks, the simplicity in build and how tough it is. Until now I have abused it in each time I got the chance to fly it and it can take it all.

My DIY 330 Quad

2013-11-05T00:41:00.001+08:00

It has been a while playing with my diy spider quad with kkmulticopter board and with my current power setup it seems to be on the heavy side with my fpv equipment on board and I am serious to fly fpv and looking for a new frame worth it for me to build and to house my new Afroflight AcroNaze32.
Come a friend of mine with his diy 330 aluminium frame and i find it tempting. Asking for his help on how he does it, he didn't only teach me how i can build one for myself but even gave me the aluminium needed for the build (thanx khairil).

My First FPV Flights

2013-11-01T21:30:00.001+08:00

I have long dream to fly FPV and slowly build a budget flying machine to just get the feel of being an FPV pilot. Its just a simple quadcopter made from aluminium. So here, I just wanna share my first FPV flights, day and night.

FPV Monitor Setup

2013-10-21T16:33:00.000+08:00

When I start plying with multirotor, some it is really like getting myself into FPV (First Person View). To have a good gear for a great FPV experience one have to spend a lot which I'm not going to do (yet). So as usual I went with what I can get my hands on with minimal cost. I got my hands on a pair of VTx/VRx from a friend (thanx Jazzman) and a decent cam with a monitor (thanx Pelurusilver).
I've seen a lot of people using a tripod to place their monitor and VRx but as a lazy person i am, i went with a simpler solution which I learn from my friends (thanx Syedkechik).

DIY Voltage Sensor For FrSky Telemetry

2013-10-07T10:03:00.000+08:00

My DIY voltage sensor on board

Frsky radio system with telemetry enable receiver have an/a couple of analog voltage inputs (for remote voltage measurements). The ER9X Tx software allows the assignment of alarm thresholds to these analog inputs. When the voltage alarm condition occurs a beeper in the R/C Tx sounds off. To use the analog inputs the Rx needs a resistor based attenuator to scale the voltage. The voltage applied to the analog input must not exceed 3.3V, which is the sole purpose of the attenuator.

The attenuator is actually a voltage divider circuit which produce an output voltage that is a fraction of its input voltage. In our case when our flight pack is fully charge (12.6V), the max output of our sensor is 3.3V and getting lower proportionally to our flight pack voltage.

Turnigy 9x - Frsky DHT Module Telemetry Hack without RS232 Converter

2013-09-30T01:34:00.000+08:00

I'm having this transmitter for quite so long which i bought from a friend. All this while it just been used by my son to control his RC Rover as i don't trust the stock Tx module on the transmitter for my flying. Until i build my tricopter and then my quadcopter. Flying a multirotor need us to be aware of the on board voltage while flying to a void any mishaps.
As i have done a mod to a friends Flysky TH9x with a Frsky module giving him a means to monitor his voltage on board through telemetry, i decided to mod my Turnigy to do the same but this time using a Frsky DHT DIY module.

My DIY Spider Quad

2013-09-23T13:36:00.002+08:00

Here is my first quadcopter build. I love how the TBS Discovery looks in the air, but i can't justified it cost for me to get one. And there is Reptile frame which also looks nice in the air but again it still cost a lot for me. Then i started to look for a free plans of a TBS look a like on the internet with which i could build one for myself.
Lucky me i did find it here -http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1706111. Nick_P don't just share his plan of a spider quad for free but included a complete guide how to make one yourself in writings and a series of youtube videos.
Here is what i come out with...

Martinez V3 Brushless Gimbal for GoPro Hero3

2013-09-12T04:43:00.001+08:00

Helping a friend with his brushless gimbals controller is quite an interesting experience. The board came with pin headers not yet soldered to it place. Searching the internet for information regarding how to connect and how to setup the gimbals itself is a challenge. But i managed at the end to get the right settings for used with a GoPro Hero3 on board. For a new technology, brushless gimbals has come to the point where every one can have a great stable aerial videos.

I am not going for the detail step, but just sharing what i've done.

My DIY Tricopter

2013-08-17T23:53:00.001+08:00

Last couple of years i've tried to build a tricopter base on David's build (rcexplorer.se). At that time flight control boards are still new in developement and the one that proven to work is way to expensive. So we used gyros and mixing in the radio as David did at that time. It is a challenging experience to make it fly and a big satisfactory once it does. Thanks to Myhotgears for sponsoring the build. But now with all the various flight controller available on the market have made flying multirotors a new hobby with growing fans.

DIY Attiny45/85 Programming Shield

2013-08-05T00:29:00.000+08:00

It is just something i made up to make my life easier and to sharpen my soldering skills.
Arduino is totally new to me after a friend sharing his rc plane navigation lights project. It is just interest me to give it a try. Since then i keep trying to learn something new out of it.
This thing really makes me thinking 'Why the hell i didn't pay attention to my electronics classes before?'. It is actually interesting to be able to build something electronicky.

KKMulticopter FlyCam Blackboard - Twincopter

2013-08-02T06:34:00.000+08:00

A friend of mine gave me his old multirotor flight controller board to play with (thanx Myhotgears). The first thing that came into my mine is build a twin/dual copter out of it. Just to prove the concept and have the feel of it. Further more by the time i got the FC i only have two motors and two esc at hand.
Like i said, i build it just to prove the concept and get the feel of it myself.

LED Navigation Light with ATtiny45/85

2013-07-25T11:38:00.002+08:00

Since a friend introduce me to arduino, i has been my dream to build myself a navigation lights customize to my liking.
He who played with arduino longer than me have come out with an on board navigation lights complete with strobe lights, beacon and even capabilities to switch your lights on and off using your remote control.
I think i am far from that, but i have build myself a simple navigation lights with strobe and beacon and i'm using ATtiny45 for its small size.

FPV RC Rover Using Smartphones

2013-07-15T13:13:00.001+08:00

I initially built a servo driven RC rover for my son to play with and because i found it to be something i have to try for myself. Who would guess the rover just been driven by two normal 9g servos. Thanks to rctestflight.
I just take it a little bit further by testing it for a ground FPV platform. Inspired by a friend who uses two smartphones as an FPV gear for his quadcopter, i dig out my old Galaxy Ace.

How To - Servo 360 Mod

2013-07-10T21:28:00.001+08:00

I get a lot of question as to how i did the servo mod for my rc rover. That is involving modifying a normal 9g servo to be able to turn freely on both direction.
I got the tips from a youtube channel rctestflight which happens to be the same person i got the idea to build the rc rover. The build is really cool (you can ask my son) and the modification needed is simple. Anyone with a spare servo and couple of old broken one could easily make it.

Simple DIY 5V BEC

2013-07-05T19:49:00.001+08:00

I'm looking for a way to power my servo tester with my LiPo without using an ESC which i used to do. I don't have a BEC laying around, and i'm too cheap to buy one just to power a servo tester. Then i remember a friend of mine building his own BEC from a minimal amount of component to power his sailboat with a LiPo battery.
I start looking for parts in my workshop to make myself a DIY BEC and lucky me i have some laying around in my electronics box. A couple of hours later after some datasheet reading, schematic figuring, component placing and soldering, i got myself one simple homemade BEC.

It has been long since i first set sail with this model sailboat Surmount from HobbyKing. Although i got it as a second hand owner from my fellow rcer who got himself a new and bigger boat. It is fast becoming my favorite model for weekends. Since i got it, i have change the rigging, change the rudder servo and change the jib sail. But a friend of mine who recently bought himself a Surmount has shown me what have he done to his boat, which catch my attention to do something more to my boat.

Running Turnigy/Flysky 9x on 2s 7.4v

2013-06-06T11:50:00.002+08:00

I found out from the reading that i've done that the Turnigy/Flysky 9x transmitter can be operated using just 2s 7.4v lipo setup. Which result in no less the performance of the one with a 3s 11.1v battery. Provided you have flash your transmitter with the custom firmware ie. ER9x. This is due to the option to set your transmitter low battery alarm which you can't achieve with the stock firmware.

Because I'm cheap and I have a couple 2s lipo around, I did this simple mod to the battery balance plug so it can be used directly in the transmitter.

Servo Driven Rover

2013-06-04T20:41:00.001+08:00

The idea was not originally mine as i found it on the youtube, posted by rctestflight on my quest searching something simple for my son to play with. Interesting enough it uses small servos for drive which i have laying around and foam board as the skeletons. Seeing it as a great couple of hour project, i proceed to make it in one afternoon. Here is my way of doing it.

How To - Diy Hinges

2013-05-29T18:17:00.003+08:00

Hinges is a must in making your control surfaces working properly. There are many ways of making a hinges on a scratchbuild model aircraft. It is depend on the build material you are using for your build and how strong you want your hinges to hold.
For a basic scratchbuild using compress foam/ foam board, the easiest way is to make a tape hinge. Here i'm going to show you the basic of making a tape hinge for your model aircraft.

Flysky TH9X ER9X FrSky Telemetry Conversion Without RS232 Level Converter

2013-04-24T21:16:00.000+08:00

I've been saving this mod for my friends quad while waiting for his new FrSky modul (FrSky DF 2.4Ghz Combo Pack for JR w/ Module & RX) as the stock modul has raised doubt of its reliability for us who fly at Ampang area. There has been a lot of reports from fliers using Flysky and Turnigy 9x having problems with the stock modul.

FrSky has made a reliable modul for this TX at an affordable price which come with a telemetry capabilty. You will need a telemetry ready RX from FrSky to make use of its function and a couple of sensors with its FrSky DHT-U Telemetry System to display all its telemetry information.

With Flsky/Turnigy 9X flashed with custom firmware such as ER9X, we can have all the telemetry data directly on our TX screen without the use of DHT-U. That's awesome. Now get your soldering iron heat up.
