Long time, no post, another package

 

As there hasn't been a lot of progress since last post, I've waited with posting more. However now, I've got another package in the mail containing:

• 9x4.7 propellers
• Another 5000mAh battery
• Spare 3.5mm and 5.5mm gold connectors
• 85dB lost signal alarm
• 3.5v uBEC

I ordered the propellers to have some slightly weaker than the 10x5.0 propellers I ordered previously. I've kind of come to the conclusion that the motors and propellers I ordered are slightly over powered to what the quad will weigh. These propellers will slightly reduce the thrust.

Another battery will gain 5000mAh more and 450g weight. This will counter the thrust and also give more flight time if used in parallel with the old battery.

The lost signal alarm is activated if the signal is lost for more than one minute and will sound at 85dB. This is a cheap insurance policy to find a quad that might lay wrecked in a bush somewhere it'd otherwise not be found.

I ordered the 3.5v uBEC before I understood that the OrangeRX radio receiver I have wants 5v. I blame that on my dyslexia ;).

Another plus is that I've got advance notice of that my package with the replacement motor will be available for pickup Monday. Stay tuned until then!
