Freaking Copter 450

vadimr · 03-23-2010, 06:49 PM

So I've finished (never finished, I know) building my FPV T-rex 450.

It's a CopterX450 with a bunch of upgrades, here is a little preview.

Looks great.

I see you use separate batteries for heli and FPV gear. Is that a necessity or can you get away with hooking everything to your main 3s 2200 mAH battery. I'm asking as I'm currently setting up a system.

Nice looking CopterX !!!

@ OpticalFlow, better to use a separate battery so if the heli's battery suddenly dies you will still have video to help auto and/or locate it if it's downed somewhere. But yes you can use one battery with a L-C Filter from DPCAV.com.
