My experience with blue loctite is that if you use a q-tip to brush the top of the thread as it protrudes from a nut or threaded bolt hole AFTER you've tightened it, that holds well but is easier to back out if you need to. It's those little details that make life easier.

I'd use some conformal on the space between the bridged wires, I'd lift the red wire and paint the ground pad heavily, since, I am assuming, they will be high amp contacts. Certainly nothing wrong with it as long as the insulator is there, but sometimes high amp circuits melt that stuff.

Also, 1/8" woven sleeve would keep those motor wires a bit neater. I come from PC building and cable management is a real thing. LOL It would add some weight, but you'd only need a zip tie in the middle, instead of one on each end, so it's offset? Oh, ok, just a bit of cloth tape, fair use. Although it will age poorly, especially if left in sunlight. We also deal with the gummy mounts for case fans. when they have no cutout, put dental floss loop through hole, hook head of gummy and pull through, the floss compresses it "just enough" to fit.

10:31 Red Loctite despite it being called permanent is Not in fact permanent. I know this first hand from working on cars and trucks. The Auto industry, is where Loctite mostly comes from. Can be used for an infinite number of fastener applications, outside that of engines and suspension, but Today its main use is in the auto industry. Red Loctite only requires a tiny bit of heat to make it "non permanent", Be that from a hot air station, a torch or your wife/GF's blow dryer.
@QuadMcFlyFlies
Жыл бұрын
To be fair it depends wildly on the loctite. Loctite 620 for instance is rated up to 200C. But yes in general only about 150C is needed to break most Loctite down pretty easily, and some are even less than that. Regardless though, using the wrong stuff will make you have a bad day. Often it's enough to strip the screw head out if you're not expecting it, and the folks who might accidentally use the wrong Loctite probably don't know to heat the screw up with a soldering iron before trying to remove it.

Low ESR capacitor, preferably near ESC is still very good idea to solder, it reduces electrical and RF noise and saves ESC from voltage spikes. Drone would work without it, but I Highly recommend adding it, it might save your ESC from burning

Hi mr @JoshuaBardwell, I purchased this kit from GetFpv and got one soldering station from Amazon. The soldering station is a Yihua 926 LED III orange one. I can't solder the negative and positive pad on the ESC with this soldering iron. Actually, I did not face any problems when soldering the motor's wires. Negative and Positive pads on the ESC are large and I think this soldering station does not have enough power to heat up fast during the soldering process. I want to ask what is your soldering iron. Is it Hakko? I want to get one of this.

@QuadMcFlyFlies
Жыл бұрын
The metal internal X can work as a replacement for the carbon fiber X in the older QAV-S frames if you keep the stock carbon wedges, but unfortunately the new wedge system won't quite work as it needs some slight cutouts in the top and bottom plate for the screw heads to clear and there is no additional retention of the bottom plate to the X plate which will impact the frame rigidity. Theoretically you could make it fit, but I think it would have a negative impact on performance without the center screw in the bottom plate holding everything together. There are probably ways to make it work, but it would require some "home engineering" :D

We actually tried reducing that with the QAV-S standard edition on the first QAV-S two years ago, and the feedback was generally negative. The consensus from that was that most people don't care about 8 screws for the top plate and prefer strength and stability over convenience. Especially in keeping the weight low those factors come at a tradeoff. Also to be fair it's still two screws less than the JohnnyFPV QAV-S :D Also a side benefit of the stock camera mount is that you don't need to remove the GoPro or the GoPro mount since it doesn't use the same screws, makes pulling the top plate a lot easier.

I own wire strippers. They are in the drawer above my work bench. I never use them. I hate having to think about what size of wire I'm using, then line up the correct size stripping hole, then strip. And diagonal cutters are better for cutitng wire short, and work fine for stripping. This is how I do it. This is how I have done it basically my whole life. It has never caused a problem for me.
