AutoQuad winter 2014 new products used in X8

[Astudillo]

Hi Menno,
Really nice build!!
How are they rubber standoffs/dampers on the AQ7 working out? I always thought the best way to mount a AQ is on ridged standoffs. Or is that no problem with Quatos anymore?

Cheers,
Ray

The idea behind rigid standoffs is that flexible standoffs could cause indirect control or even a delayed response of the imu.
But I have always used flexible standoffs, what attitude controller does not matter. But the rubber is quite stiff and I see not difference in control between rigid or my flexible.

@Menno:

congratullations, really a nice machine!

could you please post some logs to see the vibration levels?. I´m trying to build a database with many succesfull builds in order to writte a simple manual for designers that optimize the vibration levels. IMHO this is a major topic not yet clearly solved (at least for me)

Also what are the arms made? (tube dimensions, mass on top)

Thanks

This is awesome work Menno!!!

Cant wait to see these products hit the stores soon. I have a question regarding the frame, where did you get the centre plates and the black mesh that is placed between them from? Looks awesome

Well done

Hi James,

Centre plates: piece of GFK material ($10 ebay) , a pencil and a dremel powertool . The mesh I got from witespy readytoflyquads shop when I purchased a STorM32 gimbal controller, $7 and you receive a 30x30cm piece.

Next version:

This is how I pictured it.. the m4v2 using CAN for everything to the AQPDB - ESC32.
