Frame
Control Board
- ArduPilot Mega 2.6
- uBlox LEA-6H GPS with Compass
- GPS Mast for uBlox LEA-6H
- Power Module for ArduPilot (4S)
Motors
- Turnigy Multistar 2814-800Kv 123 (HobbyKing didn’t stock the 2814-800Kv so I pulled the trigger on the smaller 2214-800Kv, not ideal as the motor mounts don’t all line up but close enough, in hindsight should have waited for the 2814-800Kv)
- NTM 28 Carbon Fibre Motor Mount (as above, used the cross mount from this kit to mount the Turnigy motors with holes 16mm & 19mm to the Predator 650 motors mounts with holes 19mm & 25mm, no motor mount screws are provided so used screws scavenged from previous builds to mount the the cross mount to the motor mounts, if you get the 2814-800Kv motors mentioned above you mount directly onto the motor mounts)
Speed Controllers
Propellors
- 12 x 4.5 Slow Fly Nylon Propellers (Scavenged from retired X525 build)
Battery
Radio
- Turnigy 9XR Transmitter Mode 1 (No Module) (Scavenged from retired X525 build)
- FrSky DF 2.4Ghz Combo Pack for JR w/ Module & RX (Scavenged from retired X525 build)
- 3DR Radio Set (433mhz for Europe) (Scavenged from retired X525 build)
FPV
- Fatshark 600TVL High Resolution FPV Tuned CMOS Camera
- BOSCAM 5.8Ghz 8-channel 200Mw video transmitter

Miscellaneous
- Signal loss Alarm & Lost Plane Finder
- On-Board Lipoly Low Voltage Alarm 2s~3s
- Wire Mesh Guard Black 10mm (use the mesh to protect the motor leads when exposed at the end of each motor mount)

Hello
can you post your PID and Loiter values for the pixhawk?
Thanks

Hi Harald, I’ve since scrapped my Predator 650 for parts – took the ESC and FPV gear and used it on a 3DR Iris+ build – so I’m in the process of re-building this. You should run Autotune when in Loiter Mode to set the correct PID and Loiter values for your frame as it depends on motors, weight and COG.
Hello Michael,
I just bought one of this and while watching your time lapse assembly, I noticed you had, what looked like a PDF with pictures of the steps to assemble this frame. Is there any chance you could share that pictorial instructions file.
Thanks,
Rolly

hi
if I’ll buy this parts from list quad will ready to fly?
thanks
Hi dairis, you’ll get it in the air definitely, I didn’t include any connector adapters for the battery. I’m constantly changing parts to see what suits better so this list will continue to evolve. 🙂
