This guy on youtube video served as my baseline for my attempt for a sub-250g quad build.
His weight estimate from public data sheets looks like this:
Descriptions | Qty | Unit Weight g | Total Weight g | |
DTI Blade 150 Frame | 1 | 21.5 | 21.5 | |
DYS 1306 3100KV motors | 4 | 12 | 48 | |
DYS SN20A ESC | 4 | 7.6 | 30.4 | |
CC3D Flight Controller | 1 | 9 | 9 | |
OrangeRx R616XN Receiver | 1 | 1.4 | 1.4 | |
Micro FPV camera | Eachine 600TVL | 1 | 23 | 23 |
Video Transmitter | Eachine ET200 | 1 | 15 | 15 |
Batt | 2s 700mah | 1 | 46 | 46 |
HD Cam | Mobius? | 1 | 45 | 45 |
Fluff | 2.7 | |||
Video Baseline 242g | 242 |
However, if you look closely, some components are missing but the still makes weight, like props, wiring, FPV TX antenna, PDB, etc. This leads me to think published weigh values are overweight.
I choose to begin with a Diatone Blade 180mm frame, because I like to use full size 4" props. I don't plan for an HD recorder for my first quad build but I want to run 3s batt. There's not much weight margin to spare.
Trying to meet this sub-250g constraint makes this quad build so much more challenging. If no such constraint, a 250mm class quad would be easier and slightly cheaper.
