Giant Egg Quadcopter Build

Inspired by Kinkongs’ Fly Egg 130 model, this quadcopter is designed to fit 2204 motors and is aerodynamically efficient and lightweight at the same time. Arms are reinforced by 4.0mm carbon fiber tubes which make them extremely crash resistant. Still testing how it handles crashes.

1. Print all PLA parts for the build

---

2. Slide in carbon rods, use CA glue to hold them in place. Weights 34g with carbon fiber tube.

---

3. Mount flight controller and ESC. Double sided foam is recommended, since two of the FC mounting holes are blocked almost completely by carbon tube

---

4. Install 2204 motors and solder them onto ESC (motor protectors can be used for extra protection)

---

5. Assemble left and right frame with M2 screws, then install them onto the main frame with M3 10mm screws. This is also a good chance to mount the camera, Runcam micro swift 2 is used in this build

---

6. Solder everything onto FC board

---

7. Test flight!!

 

UPDATE

VTX03 finally arrived, fits perfectly behind the camera.
